Yeah, you don’t fan 3500 MLB batters & win over 300 games by simply using a “foreign substance”. Regardless of what he did/didn’t do, Perry’s mind games had most batters worrying about a potential spitball so much that it negatively affected their hitting. If you can intimidate and psych out your opponent then you are well on your way to victory in any sport.

Thank you. I went straight to the comments before wasting one second watching clckbait bullcrap..

I got to meet Gaylord about 12 years ago at Disney's wideworld of sports after umpiring a amateur baseball game with future MLB umpire Adam Beck.....Gaylord told me I umpired a good game and to always be a "pitchers umpire"....he then took a baseball out of my ball bag and autographed it....he was a real nice guy...we never talked about his career ...I thanked him for his autograph and left..

I met him at All-Star FanFest in 2013. He signed my Giants cap with "HOF 91" and "314 wins" inscriptions.

The title suggests that he committed heinous acts or something, may you slip and fall in a puddle of piss...

That's right. He got the edge on the opposition. The 1951 Giants won the pennant by stealing signs and later the Houston Astros.

Two stats on Gaylord Perry that I'll always remember were in 1972 when he went 24-16 with a 1.92 ERA and in 1974 when he won 15 consecutive decisions while compiling a 21-13 record. These impressive years were with dreadful Indians teams that made matters even worse by positioning the homerun fences at little league dimensions. He pitched in the All Star Game both seasons.

As a NE Ohio expat, I'll always remember the last summer before I got out of college for a Cleveland band going gold and Gaylord Perry (RIP Messrs. Perry and Carmen).

Two Cy Youngs and the Hall Of Fame. Jim Perry was a good, long-time MLB Pitcher.

Gaylord Perry, Jim Catfish Hunter are the PRIDE of North Carolina. I drove for Roses Stores. I met Catfish unloading my trailer. He was standing behind the trailer catching the motor oil and potting soil. I was in downtown Hertford N.C at the downtown P. H. ROSES STORE. Jim was the nicest guy. I am a proud Tarheel from N.C. I would say the greatest athletes come from the Tarheel state. Its always been in the good country water.

There were times when he wasn't using the spit and he pretended he was, just to fuck with the batters.

Gaylord Perry was a great pitcher. He pitched memorable games against the Reds during the Big Red Machine era. I'm a big fan of that Reds team, but I have zero trouble in recognizing Perry as a great pitcher who earned his place in the Hall of Fame. I feel that way about Louis Tiant, too. He's earned a place in the Hall, too.

How did he destroy his life

After throwing 50 pitches, today’s weenies need 30 days off due to left testicle discomfort.

You cannot compare a guy sometimes adding a little something to a baseball, to someone on PED's and how that changes their entire life. There were many times that Gaylord Perry did nothing to the ball but he had an edge because batters "thought" he was doing something to the ball. His psychological approach was fantastic. You don't win a Cy Young award simply because of a little petroleum jelly. Whoever wrote the script for this video seems almost personally involved and angry about Gaylord Perry being a "cheater". With all the scrutiny he was under, he simply could not have "cheated" as much as people like to think. There were obviously a lot of psyche games, to go along with a lot of ball games, that Perry won, simply because of his reputation.

It's unfair to punish guys for PEDs when MLB encouraged it by looking the other way, not testing, and reaping the rewards from the spike in HRs

@@bigglilwayne7050 It's not fair to the guys that didn't cheat and played without using PEDs, even when they knew other guys were doing it. It was probably tempting but they still didn't do it. Those are the guys that need to be rewarded, not the cheaters.

There was no rule against PEDs until 2005. Therefore, users before then weren’t cheating Also, if cheating is cheating and cheating is bad then doctoring the ball is just as bad as PEDs. To argue anything else is special pleading

@@LordTeaboBaggins Is a person claiming monthly haircuts on his taxes (even though he doesn't get his haircut exactly every month, the same as someone claiming millions of dollars lost in stock market the same thing? Cheating is cheating, after all. Also, why do we have misdemeanors and felonies? A crime is a crime. No, there are differences in severity and that's why we have different levels of charges and punishments regarding law. No different when considering the differences here. There's a big difference in a little vaseline, especially when it wasn't used all the time, on every pitch, and someone on PED's. Ped's that come into play all the time, every day, every at bat, every throw from the outfield, every swing of the bat, etc.. Not the same thing.

He kept them guessing more often than not

He pitched in that 27 inning marathon against the Mets.

Terribly underrated.

I have a question. I made my all-time baseball team of players I actually saw play and I had one more spot on my pitching staff for a long reliever. I picked Nolan Ryan over Gaylord Perry, even though Perry's overall stats were better. Who would you pick, Perry or Ryan?

A DEAR FRIEND WAS A TEAMMATE OF GAYLORD PERRY IN THE MINORS. WHEN PERRY PLAYED FOR SEATTLE, GAYLORD AND CHARLIE TOUCHED BASE AND GAYLORD SIGNED BASEBALLS FOR CHARLIE'S PONY LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS

A great pitcher….enough said. I remember him very well.

"It Ain't Cheatin' If You Don't Get Caught😉." Author Dan Gutman. I Highly Recommend The Book😃Saw GP Pitch When He Was With The SD Padres.😃

Yall forgot about the imbreal broad 😊say you guys iam so glad i got to watch Gaylord pitch i always love the man style glad he made it to the halls you will be missed Mr perry🫡

There's an unwritten rule in pitching in baseball... If u can get away with doctoring a ball, it is viewed as an art, a talent, and is actually expected on some level, and isn't really ostracized like other forms of cheating, like steroids of cameras stealing signs. You have to really understand the game and it's ok if not everyone does, but no fan really thinks anything bad of Perry... We love him and are impressed by him

Shaddup

Perry had 90%whole schtick for throwing a spitter, but t was 90% gamesmanship to get in the batters' heads. Baseball is mostly mental anyway.

I don't ever remember his name being brought up in steroids.

I think Eddie Harris in Major League was after him. “You telling me Jesus Christ can’t hit a curveball?”

Perry threw a spitball? Wow! I didn't know that. Imagine that? Next you're going to tell us that George Brett corked his bat or maybe even that Phil Niekro threw a knuckleball.

Wow i bet most of the hall of fame bent the rules in some way 1 of the best players to ever play the game is still not in the hall of fame pete rose

He didn't cheat nearly as much as led everyone to believe. The mind game of him possibly cheating was just as effective.

100 percent click bait.

He was cursed from youth by his man Of course he hated everyone who had a good name

Question? Was he ever caught, no.

Thats a kind of cheating that is kinda part of baseball, its not like betting or fixing games or getting bloated up by steroids. He was a great pitcher wasnt just the spitball.
