Perfect game

The best Herb, the best thing to tell you about Herb is that he was a navigator in the Air Force and was helping a plane fly a nuclear bomb in the 1950s from one spot to another.

And during that night while he was flying it on one of the trips, the World Series was being played and he asked the pilot, could you guys put on the radio and can we listen to the World Series game? And they did and it was Don Larson's Perfect Game.

He's kidding.

That's

And during that night while he was flying it on one of the trips, the World Series was being played.

And he asked the pilot, could you guys put on the radio and can we listen to the World Series game? And they did, and it was Don Larson's Perfect Game.

Wow.

He's

kidding.

That's where my dad listened to Don Larson's

Perfect Game.

Carrying a nuclear bomb.

No runs, no hits for the Cardinals.

And Charlie LeBron has pitched the perfect game through five.

Three and two now.

Danny Cox hasn't walked a man.

And even if you're on top of it, there's no chance of it bouncing over your head because you can smother a ball like that.

You see it happen all the time.

So the perfect game, the no-hitter goes down the drain here in the sixth inning.

And Cedeno is at first base with no one out.

Last half of the fifth inning, Joe Christopher, the batter, against Jim Bunning.

Bunning working on a perfect game as retired 12 straight men.

The tall right-hander delivers a fastball over on the outside corner, strength one.

For the first four innings, Jim Bunning has had great stuff and pinpoint control.

Thank you.

We'll be going here to the bottom half of the seventh inning.

Through six innings, Jim Bunning not only has pitched a no-hitter, but he's pitched a perfect game to this point.

The difference being, of course, a no-hitter is just what the name indicates.

Roger Marris would be next.

Lombard working on a perfect game.

He's retired ten in a row.

Now to wind up the pitch.

He had a cut and he missed the fastball.

And that evens in a ball and a strike.

I'm sure you all recall that there was once a perfect game pitched in World Series competition.

Probably the most unbelievable feat of all.

Let's take you back to Greensboro.

You're a part of the perfect game.

[laughs] Yes, sir.

I was.

Yeah, I mean, if you know the car reservation thing, right? It's easy to take the reservation, but the most important part of the reservation is holding the reservation.

[laughs]

And it's easy, it's easy to start a perfect game, right? I mean, every game essentially almost starts a perfect game.

The most important part of a perfect game is holding it and finishing it, and that's what you did.

Wait, 1956.

Don Larsen, perfect game.

What did he not understand about, "Don't say it.

Let me think"?

Don't say it.

Let me think.

Don Larsen, perfect game!

Exactly.
