My dad, my cousin and I saw the Milt Pappas game at Wrigley. Very early my third year of HS. (Around Labor Day?)
Yet, all anybody remembers was Froemming's blown call on 3-2 count with 2 outs in the 9th.
Next hitter made an out, so no-hitter in tact, but everybody there felt they should have seen a perfecto.
Edited To Add: that was the Cubs 2nd no hitter at Wrigley that year! Then there wasn't another one for around 35 years.
