Perfect: The Inside Story of Baseball's Seventeen Perfect Games

by James Buckley Jr, Jim Bunning (Foreword by)

Overview

Only seventeen pitchers in the past 124 years have completed the most rare feat in all of sports - the perfect game. Each perfect game is examined individually with first-hand accounts from the pitcher, his teammates, opponents, coaches, managers and sports writers who were there that day. In addition to the seventeen record-setters, Buckley has researched all the other pitchers who were one pitch from history. Randy Johnson's no-hitter for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2004 completes this examination of the seventeen unforgettable games.
