dbo:abstract	Me and the Spitter: An Autobiographical Confession is a 1974 autobiography by Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher Gaylord Perry, written with Bob Sudyk, a sportswriter for the Cleveland Press. The book details how Perry cheated at baseball by doctoring the ball. The book covers Perry's early life in rural North Carolina and his early MLB career. After struggling to stay in the majors, Perry learned to throw a spitball, an illegal pitch using various substances such as saliva and Vaseline. Despite admitting to throwing a spitball, Perry was ejected from a game for doctoring the baseball only one time, in 1982, and he was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. (en)
