RIP to a legend of the game and one of it's most entertaining characters.

Glad that he was able to share so many of his stories with all of us fans and that his memory will live on.

Yesterday, I was on a news site and saw a blurb that Perry had died. Over the years I have added Perry to the autograph collection numerous times. The last time was in 2011. I was wondering about his health because he had not been appearing on the circuit that often. One of my Perry items.

You're right, Dr. Ullman. I well recall his beautiful 1967 Coca-Cola premium (printed by Dexter Press). He signed that big card "Gay Perry", as a take to the popular phrase, "Gay Paris". Gaylord had some extraordinary years; when he had his break-out season in 1966, his record got to 20-1, or 20-2, before he tailed off a little bit. As I recall, he did the same thing with lowly Cleveland at the beginning of 1974, during his second CY YOUNG season. Yup, that twirler threw one of the greatest "hard sliders". RIP, Mr. Perry. May God rest his soul, and comfort his family at this dreadful time.

Yes, we remember you well, Gaylord! --- Brian Powell

20-2. What a start!

Roger Clemens is the only pitcher to have a 20-1 record at any point.

RIP Gaylord Perry. He signed this for me a few years back at the CLE National.
