Overrated or underrated: Cincinnati Reds legend Tony Perez
He’s a member of the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame as well as the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but do all the accolades truly represent the career of the Big Doggie Tony Perez?
To a man, the members of the Big Red Machine will attest to the importance of Tony Perez to the team’s success. Characterized as the glue that held a clubhouse of combustible egos in check, it should be noted the Big Red Machine era Reds did not capture another World Series title after the Cincinnati Reds first baseman was traded on December 16,1976 to the Montreal Expos.
