I had the pleasure of meeting Gaylord Perry in 2007 when he was in San Francisco attending the All-star game. I approached him in the lobby the second time I'd seen him there, and said I just had to ask him if he was Gaylord Perry. He was such a humble gentlemen, and we talked about how he had been keeping busy since his retirement. He graciously signed a ball that I happened to have with me from a conference exhibitor I had visited earlier that day. That ball overlooks my left shoulder in my study every day. RIP, Gaylord Perry.
