He swore up and down he lost a perfect game because of a bad call by the ump.
He lost his wife tragically, too.

(40,416 posts)5. There were two in a row, both sliders.
He had it in the bag. Two out in the ninth. Count on the batter 2-2. Just one more strike. Milt threw two sliders. Both missed, according to the ump.
