Cerda played previously with the New York Mets (by|2002-by|2003) and the Kansas City Royals (by|2004-by|2005). He played with the Tacoma Rainers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, in by|2007, but was released due to his high ERA.

While warming up in the bullpen during a 2005 game against the Baltimore Orioles, Cerda developed a fan base known as Cerda's Seven.

The seven have gained in numbers since 2005 and are especially drawn towards his record setting bullpen fastballs and kind demeanor.
