"El Presidente" Dennis Martinez' Redemption and Perfect Game 🇳🇮 

thank you for sharing his story he’s making us nicaraguans proud 🇳🇮🇳🇮

One the greatest Latin pitcher

As a Orioles fan since the 60s I enjoyed watching him pitch.

As an Expos fan, thank you for this. Dennis has been overshadowed by another former Expos pitcher named Martinez, but he was very good for a very long time. He was such a dignified player, he deserved to reach perfection.

I’m a lifelong New Yorker and Mets fan, but was lucky enough to go to the 1983 World Series between the Phillies and the Orioles. My uncle, who was a Philly guy, knew where the players came out after the game, so we stayed there and, with a lot of other people, waited for autographs. Most guys were actually fairly obliging, but the coolest of all of them was Dennis Martinez. He signed everything that was put in front of him. When he finally had to get on the bus, he went in and hung out the window, signing everything for as long as he was able. He became my favorite baseball player after that, and he remains so to this day. Thanks so much for this video, and all of the videos you put up here. Always quality stuff here. As a Mets fan, any chance I can get you to do something on the ‘69 series against your O’s?

MiLB Hatbilly, I love your throwback style, you are Criminally underrated!!!

Great video. The footage of Dennis driving the Blazer around made me LOL. ... Also, I'm Saturday morning binging Ren and Stimpy for the first time in forever, so that freaked me out for a second. haha

Hey boss thanks for sharing Dennis' story. I'm a relatively new baseball fan, and I've been trying to learn about the history of the league. I've become invested in the legacy of the Montreal Expos, so I found this spotlight on Dennis really fascinating. Going to watch his perfect game performance soon when I get the time.

Yes! El Presidente! I was about four or five years old and recall seeing his highlights with the Expos on TWIB and I was officially a Brewers/A'S/ Expos fan as a little runt 😂

Hot damn, Hatbilly. You're batting 1.000 with these vids.

Well done. I remember the day he did that. Unfortunately, it was a West Coast Sunday game and we didn't hear about it until the 11 pm news that night.

In 1981 or ‘82 our Little League team took a train from Northern Maine up to Montreal for an Expos game. I remember Gary Carter catching for Montreal.

As if the video wasn’t informative and incredibly well done, the end is seriously funny. Thanks dude.

Awesome sauce! 👍⚾️⚾️⚾️🧢 I sure do miss baseball in Montréal...

God Bless you and keep going strong brother!

Wow! What a great video! I too was an Expos fan.

I would have never guessed Ron Hassey as the catcher, that would have been a real obscure callback. I grew up watching the Cubs on WGN and the Cubs and Expos were both in the NL East and I saw Dennis Martinez alot and he was always really good. A true pro and seemingly ageless.

Fantastic video as always Hatbilly. Loved the intro and the tie ins throughout. Great story!

Jaime Jarrin in the big glasses. Legend.

A great redemption story, he was wasting away in Baltimore

Good stuff. Earned a sub.

And eight years later David Cone of the Yankees would return the favor by tossing a perfect game against the Expos.

When I was a kid, I used to think that Dennis and Tippy Martinez were brothers. I thought it was so cool that two brothers were on the same major league team and was right-handed and the other a lefty. Then I found out I was an idiot...🤣

El Presidente definitely very close to HoF level

It's nothing but racist that you can't find 1/5th the videos on Martinez vs any other modern perfect game thrower. Thanks for this!

Now... what does the fan yell?

I will assume that is real chew and not some nonsense bazooka gum. I was scared straight by 100% certainty of mouth cancer that I never dipped. Well, my cousin did it and no mouth cancer just disgusting teeth and toilet for a mouth.
