Haddix's Perfect Game Loss Becomes 1959 Oddity
The Associated Press notes the 1959 season produced the sport’s famed oddity when Harvey Haddix pitched a perfect game but lost. The Yankees missed the pennant, Bill Veeck’s gnats menaced Hoyt Wilhelm, and a Sebring spectator car stunt cluttered the year’s anecdotes. The Haddix game drew 48 of 95 votes as the era’s top oddity, ahead of Gordon, Wilhelm, and other quirky moments. It ended 14 losses after Mantilla’s error allowed the first baserunner, with Adcock’s homer sealing the outcome.
