The hitter's attempts to catch the ball early in its journey were made more difficult by Perry's practise of lacquering the ball in rosin powder. When Perry threw the ball, the ball would emerge from a "puff" of powder in the air. Metalnation.org

After retiring from baseball, Gaylord Perry and his family moved to Martin County, North Carolina.

There will be a man on the moon before he hits a home run, manager Dark predicted, and he was correct. The Apollo 11 lunar landing was the event of a lifetime for the majority of Americans on July 20, 1969.
