He tried to steal home too, but was dead as a doornail at the plate... I would surmise that maybe Honus Wagner did it as well, but the key is getting a walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his regional ties I'd guess Mattingly but I think this is one of those trivia questions where there's more to the story than just easy answer. I'm off for a day of raking leaves but look forward to the answer later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 So here's a triple for yas... The major league draft started in 1965. Who was the very first selection? Who is the youngest pitcher to throw a perfect game in the modern (after 1903) era? Who is the only pitcher to score a run for his team while pitching a perfect game?

Didn't Tom Browning throw a perfect game? I'm trying to think of any NL pitchers to throw one who could have possibly scored a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
