May 8, 1968 -- Catfish Hunter's perfect game vs. Minnesota, at Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland. Only 6,200 fans witnessed the 9th perfect game in MLB history, but it was a dandy. Besides fanning the great Harmon Killebrew three times, Hunter came back from a 3-0 count to fan Tony Oliva and K'd the last two men he faced: Bruce Look and Rich Reese. Catfish also helped his own cause with 3 RBIs in Oakland's 4-0 win, thanks to a bunt single in the bottom of the seventh (to score Rick Monday), and a 2-run single in the eighth.

Murr,
I had the opportunity to spend 15 minutes with Rich Reese one time in AZ.
We arranged a meet after exchanging a couple of letters perhaps 10 years ago.
I have always been interested in Reese for several reasons including him being Nolan Ryan's final strikeout in his MLB record 383rd strikeout in 1973, a game that I actually witnessed as a teenager.
We spoke at length about sports, his career in baseball and his amazing career in business.
With regards to Catfish Hunter's perfect game, he was especially proud of the fact that he forced Catfish to really dig deep in his final at bat in order to get the perfecto. I believe that Reese told me that he made him throw 11 pitches and really twist in the wind before getting him out.
Rich Reese is truly one of the nicest, most straightforward, candid and interesting people that I have ever met.

Default Spahn vs. Marichal

I would opt for something a little out-of-the-box: The regular season game in the early 1960s when Warren Spahn and a young Juan Marichal battled 16-innings and both went the distance. A classic pitching duel between two great Hall of Fame pitchers.

Knowing what was to come, I'd like to see Clemente collect his 3,000 hit.

9/12/64 - Bob Meyer and Frank Bertainia each have complete game one hitters. Orioles win 1-0.

Game three, 1932 World Series, October 1, 1932. Would like to be an eyewitness to Babe calling his shot...or not.

The psycho in me would love to see this game and 10 cent beer night.

Unfortunately I only have one shot at this so I would pick the 1933 All Star game. That would cover a ton of legends and my favorite park in all its glory.
