Atanasio Tony Perez Rigal was a fixture on Cincinnati's "Big Red Machine" baseball clubs of the 1970s. A native Cuban, he left a job in a Havana sugar cane factory to sign with the Cincinnati Reds. In 1967 he notched the first of seven 100-RBI campaigns, concluding his career with 1,652 RBI over 23 Major League seasons. Respected for his clutch hitting, he belted 3 home runs in the 1975 World Series, including a key two-run shot in Game 7, one of two World Championships he earned.
