Francisco Perez played briefly in GCL, years in Mexico

-
The Reynosa Broncos picked up a double-header sweep in this June 1995 series and helping them to the second win was Francisco Perez, according to a wire account.

Perez came up in the fifth inning and knocked a two-run single to send Reynosa on to the win.

Perez contributed to that win deep in his long career in the Mexican League. Previously, he briefly played in affiliated ball, in the rookie Gulf Coast League in 1990 with the Dodgers.

Perez' career began by 1989, signed by the Mexico City Tigers out of his native Hermosillo, Mexico.

Perez is recorded as playing for Mexico City in 1989 as an 18 year old.

Then, in 1990, he's listed as signing with the Dodgers and playing in the rookie Gulf Coast League. He got into seven games, got to bat 15 times. He picked up one hit, marking the extent of his affiliated experience.

Perez then returned to Mexico for a run that isn't recorded as ending until 2006.

He played with Mexico City for 1991, then Monterrey Industriales in 1992. He first played for Reynosa in 1995, staying for one season before returning for six more seasons starting in 1999.

He hit a home run in an April 2000 win for Reynosa. He hit another home run in a May game. He's credited with five home runs in total on the year.

Perez continued with Reynosa through 2003. He then played with San Luis Potosi, Puebla and, in 2006, Veracruz. He's credited with 14 games in 2006, the last noted in his career.

Eddie Williams had his share of trials and tribulations over his career, he told The Beaver County Times in 1997. The former first-round pick was in his ninth season with time in the bigs that year. He had also played in Japan and Mexico . "I've been around the world and I've played just about everywhere," Williams told The Times that August. "But you know what? I wouldn't change a thing. It's been tough at times, but it's also been interesting." Williams started off with the expectations that came with being the fourth-overall pick in the draft. The Mets selected him there in 1983 out of Herbert Hoover High School in San Diego. Williams started off at short-season Little Falls, moving to single-A Columbia to start 1984. In June, he was traded to the Reds. After playing at single-A Cedar Rapids in 1985, Williams was taken by the Indians in the rule 5 draft. After never playing higher than single-A, Williams made his major league ...

Daren Brown took over the Mariners' third base coaching duties in 2013 and Mariners manager Eric Wedge knew he was a good fit, according to The Tacoma News-Tribune . "Brownie has obviously been managing for a long time and coaching third base for a long time," Wedge told The News-Tribune . "He's familiar with everything we are doing." Brown was definitely familiar with the players. He'd been with the Mariners managing those players in the minors - and one brief stint in the majors - for more than a decade . Before that, Brown managed and played in independent ball, and spent five seasons in the Blue Jays system as a pitcher. Brown's long career in baseball began in 1989, taken by the Blue Jays in the 29th round of the draft, out of Southeastern Oklahoma University .
