Did Hall of Fame right-hander Gaylord Perry really throw a spitball? Well, he did title his autobiography Me and the Spitter. Displayed is a circa 1978 Gaylord Perry game used San Diego Padres cap. Perry played 22 seasons (1962-83) in the Major Leagues, with eight different teams. He was with the San Francisco Giants for 10 seasons (1962-71), the Cleveland Indians for four campaigns (1972-75), the Texas Rangers for four seasons (1975-77 and 1980), the San Diego Padres for two years (1978-79), plus he pitched for four other clubs. Perry had a career record of 314-265, with a lifetime 3.11 ERA. He was the first pitcher to win a Cy Young Award in each league, and Gaylord and his older brother, Jim Perry, remain the only brothers to have each won a Cy Young Award. In 1978, with San Diego, Perry was 39 years old, yet he won the NL Cy Young Award with a 21-6 record and a 2.73 ERA. The offered cap shows terrific use, with some staining under the brim, from a foreign substance, a substance that could possibly be KY Jelly or some other substance that just conceivably could have been used to doctor the baseball. Perry's number "36" is under the brim in black marker. Inside is a leather band with a New Era tag. A size tag is also in the band, but it is so worn that it can't be read. As for his use of a foreign substance to grease the ball, Perry once stated, "I'd always have it in two places, in case the umpire wanted me to wipe one off. I never wanted to be caught out there with anything though, it wouldn't be professional." A game worn cap from a notorious Hall of Fame spitball pitcher, with just maybe a possible foreign substance under the brim? For any sports collector, what's not to love?
