Answer

Spitballs were the subject of Gaylord Perry's 1974 autobiography, "Me and the Spitter". Spitballs are illegal pitches in baseball, which are thrown by putting saliva or other substances on the ball to make it more difficult for batters to hit. Perry was known for his use of spitballs, and he was even suspended from baseball for a year in 1982 for throwing them.
