Sad! Former MLB Pitcher, Pascual Perez, Stabbed To Death Inside His Home (PHOTO)

Police are investigating the murder of former Major League Baseball pitcher Pascual Perez, 55, who was stabbed to death inside his home during a robbery.

Perez, who lives in the Dominican Republic, was stabbed to death by unknown assailants. 

As reported by TMZ:

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.

The investigation is ongoing and police have not arrested anyone in connection with the murder.
