1967 Topps #320 Gaylord Perry
About Gaylord Perry
Perry turns up twice. Card #236, the National League pitching leaders, sets his 21 wins beside Sandy Koufax's league-leading 27, Juan Marichal's 25 and Bob Gibson's 21; Koufax had retired after the 1966 season, so Topps gave him no regular card this year; the leader cards picture him. Card #320 is a fourth-series single, the first solo Topps card of Perry as a 20-game winner and an All-Star. Demand on #236 runs on the names stacked on it as much as on Perry himself.
Gaylord Jackson Perry was born September 15, 1938, in Williamston, North Carolina, to tenant farmers, and signed with the San Francisco Giants in 1958. He debuted on April 14, 1962, and pitched 22 seasons for eight clubs through 1983. Taught the spitball by teammate Bob Shaw in 1964, he spent two decades denying it while fussing at his cap, hair and belt so hitters believed every pitch might be loaded. He told the story himself in 1974 in Me and the Spitter, and despite constant inspection was not ejected for doctoring a ball until 1982, his 21st season. He won 20 games five times, struck out 200 batters eight times, and was the first pitcher to take a Cy Young Award in both leagues - with Cleveland in 1972, going 24-16 with a 1.92 ERA, and with San Diego in 1978 at 40, going 21-6. He was a five-time All-Star. He and brother Jim were the first brothers each to win 200 games and remain the only pair each to win a Cy Young. Signing with Seattle in 1982 brought both the nickname the Ancient Mariner and his 300th win. He retired with 314 wins, a 3.11 ERA, 303 complete games and 3,534 strikeouts, and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991 on his third ballot.
