Baseball fans around the world got the sad news this morning that Hall of Fame pitcher Gaylord Perry had passed away at the age of 84. A two-time Cy Young Award winner and a member of the 300-win club, Perry is most known as a member of the Giants, whose logo adorns his Hall of Fame plaque. However, in the later years of his career, he became a bit of a journeyman, and that journey included a brief stop in the Bronx in 1980.
In ways, it was a bit of a surprise that Perry would ever play for the Yankees.
