...best-hearted fellow who ever lived," said former Boston Red Sox Pitcher Ernie Shore. Apparently that was true, except when it came to his two wives. (On road trips Ruth tended to forget that he was married at all.) Fans and teammates loved him, exulting in his excesses, empathizing with his small-boy penitence when disciplined by the ball club, and appreciating, as perhaps only those who follow baseball can, the way he cocked his bat, stepped into a pitch, swung as if to clear the bases.

Billy Martin, the Texas Rangers' feisty manager, says, "I don't know anything about Perry's forkball, but he still throws a spitter." In a book about his experiences with the spitter, Perry himself concedes that when he greases the ball just right, it "looks like a forkball." His techniques are so refined by now, though, that...
