Whether or not you're into baseball, you've gotta hear about Gaylord Perry. He's quite the legend, not just because he made it into the Hall of Fame, but because of how he got there-sneakily, I might add! Never heard of it? Alright, let me paint the picture for you from the beginning.
Gaylord Jackson Perry was born on September 15, 1938, in Williamston, North Carolina. Growing up in Martin County, he was into every sport imaginable, but baseball was where he really shined.
As a right-handed pitcher known for his blazing fastballs, Perry dominated the scene at Williamston High School in the late 1950s. Scouts from all over made the trek to this small town just to catch a glimpse of this talented young pitcher in action.
Perry grew up on a farm in North Carolina with his parents, Evan and Ruby. They were tenant farmers, hustling with crops like tobacco, corn, and peanuts. Fun fact-he had an older brother, James, who also made a name for himself in Major League Baseball as a pitcher. And let's not forget Carolyn, his younger sister, completing their family dynamic.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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

@notsosilentmajority1 25 күн бұрын

@@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.

@LordTeaboBaggins 24 күн бұрын

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

@notsosilentmajority1 23 күн бұрын

@@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.

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
