Did you know that Joe DiMaggio received only 44.3% of the votes and finished 8th during his first year on the Hall of Fame ballot? It wasn’t until his third year of eligibility that he got elected into the Hall of Fame.

A lot of those are no hitters. With it being so common seems like it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

There have been 317 no-hitters, but only 23 of them have been perfectos.

The most recent no-hitter for all 30 MLB teams

I would’ve bet that the Brooklyn Tip-Tops would have more than one no hitter in franchise history...

Braves are in a drought. We’ve been close several times. I do remember watching Randy Johnson throwing a perfect game in Atlanta. That’s a moment I will never forget.

I think the Tigers had one a few years ago but the umpire botched it on the final out.

Uh huh .... blame it all on the umpire.

Trust me it was bad, he even apologized

RIP Charles Johnson ... Charles Johnson, Super Bowl champ and former first-round draft pick, dead at 50

Yep and they didn’t have replay back then so the call couldn’t be reversed. A lot of good came from that though. Armando didn’t blame Jim Joyce and Jim felt really bad about it. He was tearing up the next day. Jim is a really good person that made one bad call at the worst moment. I also remember seeing where Jim performed CPR on someone at a ballgame. Some of these umpires think the game is about them, but Joyce isn’t one of them.

There's no video of this anywhere? I need to see it to get the full impact of what happened.
The video above "talks" about the incident that took place & Joyce feeling bad about it.

Just stroll into the stadium with that on. Nobody will say a word

I think it should be a requirement that everyone that is physically and mentally able take a CPR class every couple of years.

Man, that's got to be an old video. Tigers manager is Jim Leland. I have memories of him.
And .... yes, you should put a "cussing like a sailor" warning before viewing this.

Yes sir!! I had to use CPR on my oldest boy when he was little. Scariest moment of my life. He stopped breathing and for a split second I almost went into panic mode and then it was like someone(upstairs) smacked me across the face and reminded me that I took a CPR class in high school! I went from panic to just as calm and level headed as you can be! CPR is a good thing to know but the man upstairs is good to have on your side too!

Old enough that Max Scherzer was having to be sent to the minors for poor performance

If you have the faith, everything will fall into place.
