Former Cy Young award winner and Baseball Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry has died at age 84.
The famed master of the spitball died at his home in Gaffney, South Carolina at around 5am. A specific cause of death has not been revealed, but Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler said he died of natural causes.
Perry was notorious for doctoring his pitches with foreign substances, and for evading detection by umpires and opponents. Ultimately his 1974 autobiography was titled 'Me and the Spitter.'
