So long to the great spitball artist.
Baseball Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry, who won 314 games in the majors while confounding and infuriating opposing batters, managers and umpires constantly accusing him of doctoring his pitches, died Thursday. He was 84.
Perry died of natural causes at his home in Gaffney, S.C., according to Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler.
