And, of course Jim Bunning on June 21, 1964 (Father's Day) pitched a Perfect game at Shea Stadium.
He only threw 90 pitches and 79 of them were strikes.....that's some amazing pitching. Also, Bunning
contributed to the 6-0 score, by driving in 2 runs with a Double.
TRIVIA ?
What was significant about this Perfect game ?

Didn't Bunning have around 10 children, making Fathers Day a fitting time to pitch such a gem?
