Default 50 yrs ago I played Hooky & saw a Perfect Game

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

I don't know what earthquakes have to do with it......but, I think it will be a long,
long time before we experience another Don Larsen-type performance again.

I'll bet if you SABR dudes really got together and analyzed BB statistics and did some
number crunching you might just find out that the probability of a WS Perfect Game
comes but once in every Century.

Look at what history tells us.....it took 53 WS before the 1st Perfect Game.
Since then, 50 years have transpired. And, I say it will probably be another 50 years
before it occurs again. It's like we BB fans are treated to such a great performance,
but once in every Century......it's just the nature of the game.

Therefore Jay, I was tempted to take you up on your bet, but I don't expect to be
around to collect it from you 50 years from now.
