- Nicaragua's Dennis Martinez, who was also known as 'El Presidente' had an incredible 23-year MLB career. On July 28th, 1991 against the L.A. Dodgers, Martinez joined a short list of players to record a perfect game. From leaving Nicaragua, to battling alcoholism, to recording a perfect game with the Montrela Expos, here's Dennis Martinez' remarkable journey.
Thank you Dennis for everything that you did for your family, for Nicaragua, and for les Expos!
Yes, and thank you Dave Van Horne for capturing the moment so eloquently. A childhood memory of mine watching this game
when I think of the Expos, this is the man I think of. Thank you for the memories Dennis
El Presidente, El Perfecto! I was 15 and the game was on CBC and I watched the final few innings. Dave Van Horne had one of the iconic calls in MLB history, IMO.
It was on TSN, not CBC. By 1991 both CBC and TSN were in the process of abandoning the Expos in favor of the Jays. Within the following 5 years, Expos games would virtually disappear from the nation's TV sets outside of Quebec.
It was a pleasure watching him pitch.
absolutely beyond brilliant human and athlete ... perfect game a perfect summation ... Dennis Rules always !!!
I was 10 when I watched that perfect game. The following spring in Little League, I was a pitcher. And stayed a pitcher with a pitcher's mind ever since. It was only many years later that I found out about how Dennis turned his life around, and that made the feat even more special. Muchas gracias por tu carrera, lo que hiciste para los Expos y el grán nombre de niños en la provincia de Québec que jugában al béisbol en esos años.
Goosebumps
The Expos had some really good ballplayers
He was an inspirational man with an inspirational story
“El Presidente El Perfecto” is one of the most memorable calls in MLB history.
Great man!
