This is so sad.... If you were an Atlanta Braves fan back in the '80's...You remember Pascual .
He was that pitcher who missed a game because he got lost on I-285....which circles Atlanta. And he went round and round.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Ex-MLB All-Star
Stabbed to Death
in Home Invasion Robbery
Breaking News
Former Major League Baseball pitcher Pascual Perez was stabbed to death in a home invasion robbery in the Dominican Republic ... this according to multiple local reports.
Perez -- who pitched in the Majors for 11 years -- was reportedly stabbed in the neck during the incident. There is speculation Perez was killed for his MLB pension payment he received before the murder.
Perez played for a slew of MLB teams -- including the Pirates, Braves, Expos and Yankees. He made the All-Star squad back in 1983 -- the same year he had a 3.43 ERA.
Pascual got the nickname "Perimeter Perez" when he got lost on the I-285 while driving himself to a Braves game back in 1982 on a day he was scheduled to start.
So far, it's unclear if anyone has been arrested in connection to the murder.
Perez was 55.
