Title: The Hurler Who Saved Baseball In Cleveland
Product review: The autobiography of Gaylord Perry was published when he was winning games for the dreadful Cleveland teams in the 1970s. Perry was a fan favorite and basically the major gate attraction in the cavernous Cleveland Municipal Stadium.As an aside, I wonder what the fate of the club would have been without Perry. There were rumors abound that the franchise was destined to be sold to business interests in New Orleans due to fan apathy.The book is an honest look at his life on and off the field. There was a growing market for baseball books "written" by players during this era, with a focus on - of course - the New York Yankees.If you are interested in this period of baseball - and want to get away from the Bronx Zoo - then Me and the Spitter is your diamond gem.
