Perry was drafted by the SF Giants and spent 10 seasons among legendary teammates like Hall of Famer Willie Mays, who said that Perry 'was a good man, a good ballplayer and my good friend. So long old Pal.'
Baseball Hall of Famer and two-time Cy Young Award winner Gaylord Perry, a master of the spitball and telling stories about the pitch, died Thursday. He was 84.
Juan Marichal remembered Perry as "smart, funny, and kind to everyone in the clubhouse. When he talked, you listened." "The Rangers express their sincere condolences to Gaylord's family at this difficult time," the team's statement said. "This baseball great will be missed." According to his book, he looked for other substances, like petroleum jelly, to doctor the baseball. He used various motions and routines to touch different parts of his jersey and body to get hitters thinking he was applying a foreign substance.
