Perry retired in 1983 after pitching for eight teams (the San Francisco Giants, Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners and Kansas City Royals).

While pitching for the Seattle Mariners, he defeated the New York Yankees on May 6, 1982 to become the fifteenth member of the 300 win club for pitchers. He was the first pitcher to win 300 games since Early Wynn did it in 1963.

Won the National League Cy Young award in 1978 at 40 years of age with the San Diego Padres, posting a 21-6 record. Was the oldest ever Cy Young winner until Roger Clemens won it in 2004 at 41.

During his career with the Cleveland Indians, he was highly outspoken against the hiring of Frank Robinson in 1975 as the major leagues' first African-American manager. Frequently clashed with Robinson, prompting his mid-season trade that season to the Texas Rangers.

Finished 17th in voting for 1974 American League MVP and 4th in voting for Cy Young Award for having 21-13 Win-Loss Record, 37 Games Pitched, 37 Games Started, 28 Complete Games, 4 Shutouts, 322.3 Innings Pitched, 230 Hits Allowed, 98 Runs Allowed, 90 Earned Runs Allowed, 25 Home Runs Allowed, 99 Walks, 216 Strikeouts, 2 Wild Pitches and 2.51 ERA.

Perry is the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Memorial Award for best pitcher in both the American League (1972 as a Cleveland Indian) and National League (1978 as a San Diego Padre).

Finished 2nd in voting to Bob Gibson for 1970 National League Cy Young Award for leading League in Wins (23), Innings (328.7), Games Started (41), Shutouts (5), Hits Allowed (292) and Batters Faced (1,336).

Like most pitchers, Perry was not renowned for his hitting ability, and in his sophomore season of 1963, he is said to have joked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." Other variants on the story say that someone else said it about him, but either way, on July 20, 1969, just minutes after the Apollo 11 spacecraft carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, Perry hit the first home run of his career.

Pitched a no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals and Bob Gibson at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on September 17, 1968, beating them 1-0. Ray Washburn of the Cardinals pitched a no-hitter against the Giants at Candlestick the very next day, beating them 2-0 - the only time in baseball history that no-hitters were ever thrown on consecutive days.

Five-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young Award winner Gaylord Perry was a right-handed baseball pitcher who won 314 games in his 22-year-long career, earning him election to the Hall of Fame. Perry became notorious, and quite popular, as an unabashed proponent of the spitball, which had been outlawed by major league baseball back in the 1920s.

Held the record for most consecutive 15-win season since 1900 with 13 (1966-1978) and was 2nd all-time in career 15-win seasons to baseball immortal Cy Young, who had 15 (1891-1905). Greg Maddux later surpassed both Hall of Famers, notching up 17 in a row (1988-2004).
