uwixpmmu xr Adi Wm MW5 yv lt gM wfigmswu Early call nohit iinx By ED HARPER hay when the sports commentators calling last weeks baseball game in Montreal announced that Expos pitcher Steve Rogers had nohitter going they ran afoul of Wide ly held superstition Many commentators today ignore the old Superstitions saving it is their responsibility to report what is happening But Im sure that there are many people from baseballs old school who thought mentioning that Steve Itogers had no hitter going was the reason the Atlanta Braves finally hit single In the fourth game of the World Series in I947 the Brooklyn Dodgers were battling the New York Yankees broad caster called Red Barber was calling the game and Yankee pitcher Hill Bevens was one out away from the first no hitter in World Series history Barber felt he owed it to his £tulltan to tell the whole story so he defied tradition Lavagetto smacked double Hardly was the phrase nohitter out of his mouth when the Dodgers ookie Lavagetto smacked double ending Itevens chance for lasting fame Not only that but it lead to the tying and winning runs For weeks afterwards angry Yankee fans bombarded Barber with vitriolic letters Much rarer than no hitter it perfect game and when the Yankees Don Laisen pitched one in the 1936 World Series thi announcers were much more cautious lter the seventh inning one observer remarked the Yankees had 21 straight putouts Another noted that no Dodger has reached first base lhey very carefully avoided the terms nohitter and perfect game until the feat was accomplished Joe Williams New York City newspaperman was in the Yankee Stadium press boy during the game Sometime around the seventh inning Williams remarked that Larsen could be on his way to the first perfect game ever pitched in the World Series William still recalls how his press box neighbours froze in horror The next pitcher to have perfect game was Jim Bunning of the Philadelphia Phillies The date Iune21 1964 The New York Mets were the victims Bunnings attitude however differed from most peoples for he freely admits he mentioned nohitter and perfect game as each inning went by As far as he was concerned it was no secret it was out there on the scoreboard for everyone to see Besides he thought talking about it helped to break the tension lertect games are so rare that in the history of modern baseball there have been only eight On May 1968 Jim 4attislii llllltltl then member of the Oakland As pitch ed perfect gamcagainst the Minnesota Twins SIIIVIC lItNiIIlIS was liejiiiyeil Hunter didnt know what was happening Hunter reacted exactly opposite to Running He said nothing about what was happening nor lid anyone else in the dugout In fact Hunter didnt realize he had perfect game going He thought it wasonly iiohittcr Sanin Koufax of the Los Migeles Dodgers is another pitcher who hurled perfect game He threw four nohitters during his career the fourth in September 1965 was his perfect game litching against the hicago ubs Koufax struck out batters and fanned the entire side in the ninth inning He completed the season leading both leagues in wins winning percentage earned rim average and strikeouts That was all with done an arthritic elbox that caused him such extreme pain that he had to immerse it in ice water for hours each day So for some people the old superstitions still deserve respect for others they are irrelevant Hut whether they are observed or not Itlltlltls will still pitch nohitters and perfect games lINtiIICIIIillllli NEW YORK igt1 chemical engineering colleges will
