Alonzo Perry


Alonzo Thomas Perry was a professional baseball first baseman and pitcher in the Negro Leagues and in the Dominican and Mexican Leagues. He played from 1940 to 1963 with several teams.
While with the Barons, Perry was a teammate of Willie Mays in the late '40s. Piper Davis, the manager, had most of the players take turns watching out for the young Mays—except for Perry and Jimmy Newberry. "No one knew what they would get into after a game. They liked the ladies and they liked their beer," Mays said.
