Two days before the Martinez perfect game in LA on 7/28/91, Mark Gardner no hit the Dodgers for 9 innings, only to lose in the tenth 1-0. Gardner walked two, one of whom was erased by a DP. Hershiser, Gross and Howell allowed 2 hits to the Expos. Three singles in the bottom of the tenth scored the game's only run. In the three game series the Expos pounded out a total of 11 hits and scored only twice in the perfect game.
How do i know all this? I was there on Friday and didn't save my ticket.

I don't have a ticket but here's a signed 1960 card of Harvey Haddix. Ol' Harv went 12 perfect innings only to lose in the 13th. Talk about heartbreak.

That would have been a great game to have attended. Here is your ticket to the Mark Gardner near perfect game. ![]() I'm still working on getting it signed. Currently it resides with a friend of mine in Northern Calif. who is trying to provide the big assist. |

Yes, I was there. First row, right behind home plate. Here's a video I took of the last at bat. Pretty amazing game. http://youtu.be/7Vtwub-6uhg (somehow I can't embed it) Max

I wrote to Charlie Robertson several times in the early 1970's, with no reply. Then one year, I happened to write him just before the anniversary of his perfect game (April 30), and he responded in just a few days, and dated the autographs April 30.
So, every year thereafter until Robertson died (about 10 years), I wrote to him in mid- to late-April, and each year he responded, signing everything I ever sent. I never sent him a ball to sign, though, which I've always regretted. Tom |

. . . but still a shame that umpire error still counts against qualification of this effort as a perfect game. (image has been "borrowed" from ebay) |
