- Hall-of-Fame right-hander Gaylord Perry died yesterday of natural causes at the age of 84. Perry played 22 years in the big leagues, won 314 games and was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both league. Oh, and he also illegally doctored the ball throughout his career.
- The Giants, one of the many teams Perry played for, issued a statement about the death of Perry.
