It appears that I was wrong. No problem. If anyone else is interested though, you know where to find me. Offer stands.

Well i been saying an NL no hitter is .9 of an AL no hitter......so yeah you were wrong. I would do 4 of the next 6 would be in the NL but thats just too many years to deal with.
As far as perfect games occurring in the AL more than the NL......all perfect games are no hitters...you going to need a no hitter to get a perfect games..ill take the odds of whats happened 19 of the last 21 or so times....

right..given that 19 of the last 21 occurred after 1973 thats nothing to be overlooked....heck when i started this debate a year or so ago it was 51-51 ...its not like the fact that the 4 more recent no hitters have been in the NL (and a litany of almost no hitters) have hurt the argument.
