Expo By Brett L. Friedlander Sports Editor Reprinted from June 28 issue ATLANTA ? It would take only two words to describe the 14-year career of Montreal Expo first baseman Tony Perez ? consistency 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 nas oeen 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 WPll 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 obtained 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 Frvman and Murrav havp sinrp 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 surDrised 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 I All Classified ads are CASH-I I ADVANCE. Ads may be placed between t I hours of 9 am - 12 noon.
