About Ray Perry (baseball)

  • Raymond Lawrence Perry (December 23, 1919 – May 3, 1973) was an American professional baseball player, manager and scout.
  • He was born in San Francisco. A third baseman and second baseman, Perry played in the minors from 1940–1954, missing 1943–1945 due to service in World War II.
  • He put up good numbers in the minors (despite being listed at 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall and 175 pounds (79 kg), he hit 348 home runs lifetime and batted .323) but a broken leg and the service in the war hurt his chances to advance. He was a player-manager as his career wound down and remained a minor league manager through 1961, when he became a scout for the Chicago Cubs.
  • He was with the Cubs from 1961–1967, then was a scout for the New York Yankees from 1968–1969 and Los Angeles Dodgers (1970–1973).
