Exdo JL By Brett L. Friedlander Sport* Editor Reprinted from June 28 issue ATLANTA ? It would take only two words to describe the 14-year career of Montreal Expo first tiasertian Torty Perez eon? sistency and durability. For 12 summers with the Cincinnati Reds and the past two in Canada, the 37year-old Cuban has driven in runs with amazing regularity. He has been named to the National League all-star team seven times and played in four World Series. He has driven in 90 or more runs for 12 straight years and has averaged 151.1 games a season. Perez has also led the league in several fielding categories during his career as well. POPULAR WITH HIS fellow players and fans alike, Perez came to the Expos in 1976 in a trade that left the Cincinnati fans more than a little bit unhappy. The Reds ob tained pitchers Woody Fryman and Dale Murray for the services of Perez, in a deal which was made because of the first baseman's age. The results of the trade are obvious; Perez has knocked in over 90 runs and hit 19 homers in both seasons with Montreal while both Fryman and Murray have since been dealt away from the Reds. However, Perez looks at the trade objectively and said it was a logical move for Cincinnati to make. While he was not happy with it at first, he explained that he was not surprised when he learned of the move that sent him packing north of the border. "I was ready for the trade because I went through a lot of things over the last three years I was in Cincinnati," Perez said. "I know Dan Dreissen was coming up p-rj All Classified ads are CASH-IT ADVANCE. Ads may be placed between tl :;4;)| hours of 9 am - 12 noon, 1 pm - 3 pin, Monds ithru Friday in 3II-B Russell House.

Then when the trade came up, I didn't refuse because I liked the offer Montreal gave me and the challenge they gave me with a young ball club. I though I could help in a lot of 'different ways." HIS BIGGEST contribution to the team is being in the lineup everday and being able to get men home in a critical situation. While many players have their problems when batting with runners in scoring position, Perez has made a science of it. In fact, Montreal fans almost seem to expect him to deliver anytime he steps up to the plate with a runner on second or third. "When you have men on base, sometimes you overswing," he said. "You try to swing too hard and take your eyes off the ball and your body off the ball.

Defensively, he works hard and is always trying to improve his skills. Perez said that his success and durability does not come from playing day to day during the season, but rather before it during spring training.

There must be some truth to that theory considering some of Perez's greatest moments have been in the play-offs and World Series. ? "We have a six week training program in the spring," Perez said. "We work hard there and I try to get my weight down and do a lot of running. I work on my fielding and my batting and try to keep my legs in shape." PHYSICALLY, Perez did not have to make any adjustments upon arriving ir> Montreal. However, the change of scenery was not so easy for him and his family off the field. Being of Latin descent, he speaks with a heavy Spanish accent which is pretty much out of place in a province where most of its inhabitants speak French. But the situation did not bother Perez at all. He viewed the language difference as kind of a challenge both to him and his wife along with his two sons. While he could get by speaking English, the first baseman has taken up French anyway. By doing this, he has made himself that much more DODular with the baseball fans in I? * Quebec. EVEN THOUGH Perez has been traded away from the team he played most of his career with, he holds no grudges against them. In fact, he still looks back to the days when he and the Reds were winning everything in sight. r? ..?^ reici io useu to winning.rre^ watched the "Big Red Machine" being built with strong hitters and a lot of leadership until everything finally came together.
