1977 Topps Baseball #655 - Tony Perez

• In December 1976 I was unable to wrap my ten-year-old head around the deal that sent Tony Perez to the Montreal Expos (Perez and Will McEnaney for Dale Murray and Woodie Fryman). In October 2013 I still have a very hard time wrapping my 47-year-old head around the trade.
• Perez played well for the Expos in 1977, but his time as an All Star was over. Tony helped the Expos as they became a contender in the late 1970s.
• It's funny -- Tony's 1973, 1974, and 1975 cards have virtually identical poses
• 1977 Stats: .283, 19 HR, 91 RBI in 154 games
• 1977 Highlights:
• April 10 - Hit a 3-run home run in the 8th inning to lead the Expos to a 9-8 win over the Philadelphia Phillies
• Aug 29 - Drove in three runs and scored twice in Montreal's 7-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds
