Hunter's perfect game for Oakland in 4 0 win over Twins
Jim Hunter pitched the ninth perfect game in modern baseball history, striking out 11 and driving in three runs as Oakland defeated Minnesota 4 0 in the Oakland Coliseum. The 22 year veteran, nicknamed Catfish, hails from Hertford North Carolina and survived a hunting accident that cost him his right toe. He matched a historic feat last achieved by Charlie Robertson in 1922 and later by Jim Bunning and Sandy Koufax. Hunter's performance included a two way contribution and a near fight between Indians and Yankees in an adjacent game.
