On this day in 1964, Gaylor Perry signed with the Seattle Mariners. Gaylord was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1991, and is currently top 20 all-time for most wins by an MLB player. He is 17th to be exact, with 314. What a progressive signing for a city full of expression and progression like Seattle. It was a move so ahead of its time, that they didn’t even know it was progressive.
Gaylord Perry played for eight teams in total during his two-decade long MLB career:
San Francisco Giants
Cleveland Indians
Texas Rangers
San Diego Padres
Texas Rangers (again)
New York Yankees
Atlanta Braves
Seattle Mariners
Kansas City Royals
