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
