As a Pirates fan, I don't know how I let May 26 go by without mentioning the 50th anniversary of the most perfect game pitched in Major League history. 1959, Harvey Haddix picthed 12 perfect innings for the Pirates against the Milwaukee Braves. Included in the Braves lineup were illustrious players such as Lew Burdette and Hank Aaron. What a performance. It is at least ironic if not downright hieneous that Harvey lost the game in the 13th inning. But noone before or after (or probably ever will) matched his performance.
