Hey Rex, here is a tidbit about Gaylord P.: Perry’s family, it seems, was as cagey as he was when asked how his pitches came to do such marvelous tricks.

According to an often-told story, when Perry was pitching for the Giants during the 1971 postseason, a television reporter asked Allison, then 5 years old, if her dad ever threw a greaser ball.

Her reply: “It’s a hard slider.”
