It is like having a Baseball Encyclopedia in the room when former Major Leaguer Jim Perry stopped by Tales From the Creek. Perry played both baseball and basketball at Campbell from 1956-59 before going on to have a 17-year MLB career. Perry was a three-time all-star and the 1970 American League Cy Young Award winner for the Minnesota Twins. Perry made 447 starts and won 215 games, including a Major League-best 24 games during his Cy Young season. He is now a member of the Minnesota Twins franchise Hall of Fame. 

Perry and his wife Daphne's generosity has been instrumental in the growth and success of the Campbell baseball program. Jim Perry Stadium first opened in 2013 and underwent a transformation in 2017 that included the addition of the Jim and Daphne Perry Pavilion to house locker rooms, offices, and meeting spaces.
