I will never forget in the early 80's watching the Tigers on television and Milt Wilcox had a perfect game with two outs in the ninth against the Chicago White Sox, until utility player Jerry Hairston hit a pinch hit single. The great George Kell was doing play by play and I still remember the disappointment in his voice with that genteel southern manner of speaking "...and a base hit up the middle".
