Gaylord Perry 314 career wins, plus two Cy Young Awards. He won his first Cy Young this year with Cleveland, and did so with some marvelous numbers. But Perry was always suspected of throwing the spitball, a banned pitch; Billy Martin once complained that he smelled like a medicine cabinet. After he retired, Perry admitted what most people already knew: that he threw the spitter, and was, in effect, a cheater.
