Gaylord Perry house: Where did Gaylord Perry live?

Gaylord Perry (September 15, 1938 – December 1, 2022) was a professional baseball player from the United States.

He threw right-handed for eight different Major League Baseball clubs between 1962 and 1983. Perry had a 22-year baseball career that included 314 wins, 3,534 strikeouts, and a 3.11 earned run average.

Perry, a five-time All-Star, was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues, in the American League with the Cleveland Indians in 1972 and the National League with the San Diego Padres in 1978; his Cy Young Award announcement came just as he turned 40, making him the oldest pitcher to win the award in 26 years.

He is also known for being a member of the baseball’s second-winningest sibling team, following only the knuckleball-throwing brothers Phil and Joe Niekro.

Despite his reputation for doctoring baseballs (e.g., throwing spitballs), and perhaps even more so for duping batters into believing he was throwing them on a regular basis (he even titled his 1974 autobiography Me and the Spitter), Perry was not ejected for the illegal practice until August 23, 1982, in his 21st season in the majors.
