It was a treat to see the conclusion of only the 21st perfect game ever. Screw the Red Sux getting blown out.
Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were in Boston.
“Meanwhile, the team that drafted Humber (Mets) is still in search of it’s first no-hitter.”
Yes. I thought Tom Seaver threw one for them, but he did that with the Reds, after the Mets traded him. IIRC, Seaver, while with the Mets came within one out of a perfect game against the Cubs though. Close but no cigar.
Jimmy Qualls.
I looked up Seaver, he lost it with 1 out in the 9th not 2.
You may recall once Mike Mussina lost a perfecto against the Red Sox to single by the 27th batter, Jurassic Carl Everett.
Pedro Martinez was once perfect through nine against the other team never to throw a no-hitter (the Padres) the but his Expos didn’t score until the 10th, Pedro gave up a double in the bottom of the 10th and was pulled. But he at least got the win unlike the unluckiest bastard that ever lived, Harvey Haddix (a shame there is no video of that one).
I’d like to see one be tied at 0 into the 9th and won on a walkoff. As far as I know there has never been any MLB no-hitter won a walkoff let alone a perfect game. You’d think it would have happened.
I watched the 9th in a senior living place with a bunch of octogenarians. They were fighting over whether to change the channel back to the news.
