IUFLA Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Always loved this Gaylord Perry story... Hall of fame pitcher, and spitball extraordinaire, Gaylord Perry approached the makers of Vaseline about endorsing the product and was allegedly rebuffed with a one-line postcard reading, "We soothe babies' asses, not baseballs." His brother Jim was no slouch either...RIP Gaylord... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) More than any other player at that time, I always felt like Gaylord Perry was 'old' He would have been in is mid to late 30's in the middle of the 1970's, which is when I began following baseball. To me, he looked ancient, even then. Edited December 1, 2022 by 5fouls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
