I have the same opinion of Gaylord -not extraordinary but the record says otherwise. He was a helluva pitcher through the 60's and early 70s with 2 Cy Youngs .

I did always love the theatrics around the spitter.
I looked a little closer and he was actually still pretty impressive the first few years I was old enough to follow baseball.  His winning % is what gives the appearance he was just above average, but he had a nice run of 18-24 win seasons.  Many years on non-contending teams, and he pitched about four years too long.  

I think the mystique of the spitter was just to get in the opposition's head.  Hitting requires concentration, and it was a distraction.  Not to mention a managerial staff trying to catch him cheating.  I do remember him getting busted once.  He had a wad of vaseline under the brim of his hat.  Wasn't even being particularly sneaky about it that day.  Smile  Probably purposeful.
