Perry Wins Cy Young on Spitball Reputation
Gaylord Perry captures the 1972 American League Cy Young Award for his 24-16 Indians season with a 1.92 ERA and 29 complete games. He credits psychological edge from spitball reputation, field turf change, and catcher Ray Fosse's conduct as key factors in earning the honor. Perry outpolled Wilbur Wood with 64 points to 58, as BBWA voters name him the top pitcher ahead of Lolich, Hunter, Palmer, Tiant, Lyle, and Ryan.
