Perfect Game Alert!

Tex wins it in the 17th Sunday, and breaks up a perfect game in the 8th on Monday.

He'll be too expensive, but I do hope this franchise will attempt to throw a bone his way.

 

Crud.

 

Stupid question that I could probably look up, but I'll ask you since you know nearly as much as Wikipedia....

Has Vin ever called a perfect game?

 

You suck Bucky! Why were you trying to hex it?

 

Now, win the fucking game.

 

I'm almost certain he called Koufax's in 1965, and probably Dennis Martinez's (for the Expos against LA) in 1991.

 

Sandy Koufax (29) 09-09-1965
Los Angeles 1 vs Chicago 0

 

For the record, I got up from my desk chair and moved to the cushy chair in my office, and Teixeira doubled. I promise to use my power only for good.

 

Good. So it wasn't me.

 

There's a great 9-minute MP3 file on the Web on Scully's poetic call of Koufax's perfecto.

 

Vinny might have caled Larsen's World Series perfecto in 1956 against Brooklyn, too, though I don't think he was the full-time PBP guy at that point.

 

And Tom Browning's against the Dodgers in 1988.

So the answer is yes, four times.
