For those of us old enough to remember the early 80's, Gaylord was the first true HOF talent the M's ever had. I remember listening to Dave call the last inning of his 300th win on my old transistor radio. He kept us in games and gave us a few laughs....no better tribute to an old friend.

At the age of 43 he beat the Yankees in a complete game 7-3 victory for #300. The ensuing weekend more people attended Funny Nose Glasses Night. Different times...

Re: Gaylord Perry has died
Nice guy. I’ll never forget the time he yanked me by the hand across a table at Spring Training. He wanted a better look at my Seahawks Superbowl replica ring. I told him my wife had gotten it for me as an anniversary present.
Then he flashed 3 giant pieces of hardware on hands. I do not know what they represented since he never pitched in a World Series.

Was at the game, friend and I had been going to his starts determined to be there

Favorite GP quote: “ I'd always have grease in at least two places, in case the umpires would ask me to wipe one off. I never wanted to be caught out there with anything though, it wouldn't be professional.”
What a character.
I read in an ESPN article that sometimes he’d rolls ball with grease on it into the opposition’s dug out just to mess with them.

Re: Gaylord Perry has died
That was the Yankees wasn't it, believe the opposing pitcher broke his hand after the game, socking the locker door?
