I'd like to see Bonds pitch a perfect game. Ruth did that. I'd like to see him pitch a single game and win. Rush won over a hundred as a pitcher.

(Ruth actually pitched a perfect game as a reliever. The first pitcher stuck the batter before leaving the game. Ruth then stepped in, picked the runner off at first and didn't allow another batter to make it to first base for the rest of the game. And now you know the Rest of the Story.)

You have that backwards. Ruth was the pitcher who walked the first batter, and he promptly got thrown out of the game for arguing with the umpire. Ernie Shore came in and retired the next 26 batters (the runner on first was caught stealing) to get credit for an "unofficial" perfect game.
