9 perfect games broken up in the 9th inning with two outs since 1972 Video made for entertainment purposes only Clips belong to MLB.com/MLB Advanced Media
In addition to this almost perfect game Dave Stieb the year before had no hitters broken up with two outs and two strikes in the ninth in BACK TO BACK GAMES!
The Gallarga one is simply the worst. that one was robbery. To Jim Joyce's credit, he did come out and admit that he missed the call and I truly believe that nobody felt worse about it than him. MLB should have credited Gallarga with a Perfect Game.
You know how many people would feel left out because calls weren't reversed after the game? Blame Bud Selig for this one and be thankful we have replay now.
I think the Scherzer one is just as bad. That was one of the most blatant attempts to get hit by a pitch I've seen, and the umpire should have called it a strike
@@dirtybirdambrose A guy is clearly out, but is called safe and a guy gets blatantly hit by a pitch and you say it should have been called a strike? Then you have the nerve to say the correct call was just as bad as the blown call! Please stay off the internet unless you have something worthwhile to contribute.
@@gordie225 The rules clearly state that an umpire does not have to award first base on a HBP if he determines the batter did not make an attempt to get out of the way.

Gallaraga was all class after the fact and said he’d be able to show his son the time Dad threw a perfect game. And he’s absolutely right. It’s all there on tape, and it’s indisputable. Guy threw a perfect game.
And the worst part of this video is the fact that three of them should’ve been perfect games. That first video, you could see the pirates batter swing, obviously the Jim Joyce play, and the fact that Tabata leaned into the pitch
Chief Trey Tabata leaning into the pitch doesn't matter you don't get called out for that unless it's little league.. but still it was kind of a cheap play
He didn’t jump out of the way, but nor do I think he leaned into it. He started his swinging motion, so I don’t think he realized it was so far inside. Looking at the slow motion play, it looks like he’s trying to pull his arms towards his body, but that pitch had a lot of movement on it.
Actually, he didn't lose the game on a double. After the error, there was a sacrifice bunt, then Henry Aaron was intentionally walked to set up a possible double-play. Joe Adcock was up next and hit a long fly ball that landed in the stands! Felix Mantilla scored, but Aaron for some reason thought the ball was caught, and the game was over when Mantilla scored. So he went toward the dugout. Adcock didn't see this and rounded the bases. Frantically, Aaron was rushed back out, but it was too late -- Adcock was declared out for passing Aaron on the base paths. It was one of the most bizarre endings you'll ever see to a baseball game. Haddix lost his no-hitter, Adcock lost his home run on the same play, and only Mantilla officially scored. Final: Milwaukee Braves 1, Pittsburgh Pirates 0 in 12 innings.
Milt Pappas should of attacked that umpire. The batter clearly swung at the pitch at 0:17 back in the days when the third base ump didn't make calls on a batters swing or non swing.
Not a swing. Larry Stahl stopped his bat before it crossed the plane of home plate. A textbook check swing. In any other situation, no one would have thought twice about calling it ball four.
Mike Mussina almost got it at Fenway!!! It was televised on ESPN and I watched it!! Bottom of 9th, 2 outs & 2 strikes against Carl Everett who got a soft blooper.
Mate, y'all who's saying Galarraga's was the worst in this video is wrong. Yes, it was *horrible*, but at least Jim Joyce admitted he botched the call, and Galarraga made up with him afterwards. Milt Pappas though. God, that was *THE* worst call in existence. That final pitch was on a full count. The batter, while not swinging fully, _clearly_ went around. And the worst bit was the umpire, Bruce Froemming, fucking *smirking* at the fact that Pappas was robbed of the perfect game with the worst call in all of baseball history. Wikipedia says the two never made up and argued about that call decades down the road. I can see why. At least Joyce admitted wrong, he's a sporting umpire. Froemming, though, damn man. Probably knew it was wrong but doesn't have the cheek to own up.
4/15/83. When this video went from a game in 1972 to a game in 1988, I was like, "wait a second, are they doing National League games and then American League games ?" I'll admit that I haven't seen the Wilcox game on CZcams, but it was broadcast live on WDIV in Detroit, so somebody must have a clip of it.
I watched this to see Milt Wilcox, April 15, 1983, get robbed by Jerry Hairston of the White Sox in Chicago. The Galarraga one hurt more, but I was 13 while watching Wilcox, who lived down the street from me, and it was heartbreaking. How'd you miss it?
Being a Tigers fan all my life, I watched both of those games live. I will always remember them both. Jerry Hairston was referred to as Jerry "Fuc@#$%" Hairston after that game.
@ukcatfan383 it was televised. I watched it live. It was a Friday night and the Tigers were playing in Comiskey Park. The game was broadcast on Channel 4 (WDIV) in Detroit. George Kell and Al Kaline were the announcers.
A year later, Tony LaRussa sent in Hairston to pinch hit in the 8th inning of the game where Jack Morris threw his no hitter. At least the Tigers got the last laugh in that one.
Correct, in many situations I've seen, the last batter is a pinch-hitter (and this was definitely the case with Carl Everett, who broke up Messina's perfect game).
You forgot Milt Wilcox's near-perfect game for the Detroit Tigers in April of 1983. On a cold April night in Chicago's Comiskey Park, pinch hitter Jerry Hairston lined the first pitch up the middle for a single, crushing a young boy's dreams in the process. I watched the full game on Detroit's WDIV that night. Ernie Harwell's radio call of the ninth inning is available on CZcams, but it would be wonderful to see the television broadcast after all of these years.
Instant replay challenges sure would have been helpful in some of these games. Especially for that Jim Joyce call in that Detroit Tiger game. What a terrible call.
The Jim Joyce play is the reason there is replay now on judgement calls. If there had been an egregious Jim Joyce type play before that made replay possible the Jim Joyce play woulda been reversed,( my head hurts now) and Galarraga wouldve gotten credit for a perfecto.
Flew from Hawai’i to San Fran for the Niners season opener against the Pack in 2013. Our friends decided “what the hell” and go to AT&T on the Friday night before, getting scalped tix above the first base line. It was my first MLB game ever. People weren’t really murmuring until the bottom of the 7th, but when Petit got the third out in the 8th, that was the loudest cheer I’ve heard live. On the flip side, I’ve never heard a reaction like the one when the ball landed in front of Pence. Just a deflating feeling.
I read that roughly half of no-hitters entering the 9th inning bet broken up. So in a very weird way of looking at it, pitching eight no-hit innings is only getting half the job done to getting a no-no. The last 50% is getting through the ninth.
Some insights to pass on: (1) Both Milt Pappas (the first video) and Max Scherzer (Washington) retired the next batter they faced to officially pitch no-hitters. So they should both be respected for keeping their focus & composure after what happened with batter #27. And (2), what made Carl Everett's break-up of Mike Mussina's Perfect Game so interesting is that Everett looked terrible against Mussina the last time he pitched against the Red Sox -- he struck out multiple times. It seemed that Everett would have been the worst choice for a pinch-hitter in that situation, and he had two strikes on him to boot -- but he came through against all the odds. Finally (3), as badly as I (and maybe you) felt for Steib after losing his Perfect Game bid against the Yankees (incredibly, one of three times in two seasons that Stieb lost a no-hitter with two out in the ninth inning), he eventually pitched a no-hitter in 1990 -- the first no-hitter in Blue Jays' history.
5:38 If they had instant replay back then, that would've been a perfect game. That was the Indians announcer saying "why is he safe?" I'm a Tribe fan, and I never want to see a pitcher throw a perfect game against them. However, he was robbed by the first base ump. I've seen closer calls called correctly out.
And that's why we have have video replay now. Because I want what really happened to be on record, not what some 52 year old umpire, with failing reflexes, thinks happened. Human error should be confined to the players only.
2:32 You can see why all the Yankee scouts were telling “Big Stein” you got to get Ken Phelps even if it takes Jay Buhner to do it. At least that mistake led to the hiring of George Costanza and the dynasty years that soon followed.
I think this video is broken. It looks like they took Yu Darvish out of the game, in which they were winning by seven runs, costing him a one-hitter, and a shut-out, and a complete game.
*Carl Everett was 0 for 4 with 4 strikeouts against Mike Mussina the previous weekend, and he's sent up as a pinch-hitter with 2 outs in the 9th inning of a perfect game. Go figure.*
Anyone who thinks Joyce did that by accident is kidding themselves. Umpires are the biggest narcissists in sports. That play wasn't even close and yet he called him safe and guess what? You'll never forget the name Jim Joyce will you but if he made the right call he'd fade into obscurity.
2:49 I still remember this homerun but Ken Phelps. We lost that game 2-1. I knew he broke up a no hitter, but I didn’t realize until now that it was a perfect game. Go A’s!
He didn’t jump out of the way, but nor do I think he leaned into it. He started his swinging motion, so I don’t think he realized it was so far inside. Looking at the slow motion play, it looks like he’s trying to pull his arms in towards his body.
You don't have Detroit's Milt Wilcox vs the White Sox he got the first 26th. Number 27 got a hit. Then he got the next one out. Thanks. Nice video. That iz all
Jim Joyce is living every day knowing and hoping when he takes his last breath and is not of this earth anymore, that the big man above isn’t a baseball fan because that call is just unforgivable, including by god himself.
I don't think there's a picture in the league who would want a single batter to purposely make an out, that completely devalues it. But you sure as hell don't lean into a pitch with your elbow pad either
Doug Drabek had a no-hitter with two outs when Sil Campusano broke it up with a single or double. It was Pirates @ Phillies sometime in 1990, I believe.
The Galarraga one was the absolute worst (he was out) but in Joyce's defense you should've included a shot of the ball initially being snowconed, which I believe is why he called safe. Still, he was out. Travesty for a guy who washed out of the league very soon after that season (he deserves to be in the history books for that one magical night).
That Galarraga one is so upsetting still. I don't understand how the commissioner couldn't look at that and go back and call that the end of that game. Wipe out the at bat of the final batter and give Galarraga the perfect game that he actually pitched. The commissioner also forced Jim Joyce to live with this mistake forever instead of correcting it. I can't imagine what he's gone through because of one bad call. Ridiculous.
Tabata leaning in on purpose to get hit by Max's pitch was fucking bush league... the next time he faced the Nationals he should have gotten a 98 mph fastball to the earhole every time he got to the plate!
For the commentator who said he would never lean into a pitch when a perfect game is at stake: Screw him. The batter is getting paid to perform too. The integrity of the game and professional pride demand that you do everything you can to try to break it up. Otherwise, just go up there and swing and miss on purpose and gift it to him. I can't believe the stupid things people say sometimes.
The Sherzer one makes me laugh "that's the worst way to lose a perfect game" apparently he hasn't seen the Galarraga/Jim Joyce game. At least Sherzer didn't have it taken away by an umpire.
But in a way the umpire was responsible for that too. If a player intentionally allows himself to be hit by a pitch, it would fall on one of the umpires to catch that and penalize the hitter by changing the call to a strike. If that's what really happened, and the umps missed it, then the perfect game was taken away by the umpire.
Please make a companion video of perfect games broken up in the 1st.
Those are the worst. All that time spent just to have it thrown away
A 2-for-1 happy hour on fucktards!
mitchell miller youre the fucktard 😂😂
Yes, so basically 98% of normal every day baseball games. LOL
How bout a companion video of all the times your woman caught you cheating on her, I think it'd last longer than 9:02

Boston Fan and Yankee hater here...but...ANYONE OTHER THAN EVERET. rather see the perfect game.
Saddest video ever.
Jim Joyce is living every day knowing and hoping when he takes his last breath and is not of this earth anymore, that the big man above isn’t a baseball fan because that call is just unforgivable, including by god himself.
Jeez was the Yu Darvish one filmed with a potato?
Tabita leaned into that fucking pitch, that would be a strike and the the perfecto would be in the books
Its a cool vid
This is why you don't talk about a no-hitter until it's in the books
I was at the Yusmiero Petit game
The medal is in the mail
My heart
You skipped over Wilcox (tigers) pitching perfect games with two outs.
If I was ever a hitter in this situation I would just swing and miss at any pitch
I don't think there's a picture in the league who would want a single batter to purposely make an out, that completely devalues it. But you sure as hell don't lean into a pitch with your elbow pad either
Doug Drabek had a no-hitter with two outs when Sil Campusano broke it up with a single or double. It was Pirates @ Phillies sometime in 1990, I believe.
Yawn
@@joeambrose3260 Shut up, you.
Pappas always had a grudge on Froemming to the day he passed
Brutal
Ft.jim joyce🤣😂 instant classic
Jim Bibby allowed a lead-off hit then retired 27 in a row. Wonder how many times that's been done
The Galarraga one was the absolute worst (he was out) but in Joyce's defense you should've included a shot of the ball initially being snowconed, which I believe is why he called safe. Still, he was out. Travesty for a guy who washed out of the league very soon after that season (he deserves to be in the history books for that one magical night).
The umpire is Paulie from Rocky 🤣
incredible how much this has hallenedm all the 9 hole doing the damage
Uh...it has to be the 9 hole in this scenario...
That Galarraga one is so upsetting still. I don't understand how the commissioner couldn't look at that and go back and call that the end of that game. Wipe out the at bat of the final batter and give Galarraga the perfect game that he actually pitched. The commissioner also forced Jim Joyce to live with this mistake forever instead of correcting it. I can't imagine what he's gone through because of one bad call. Ridiculous.
Tabata leaning in on purpose to get hit by Max's pitch was fucking bush league... the next time he faced the Nationals he should have gotten a 98 mph fastball to the earhole every time he got to the plate!
pappas pitch was a ball...but the batter swung....more so then hubers last pitch...
Most cursed video on CZcams
You Darvish clip gave me a seizure
For the commentator who said he would never lean into a pitch when a perfect game is at stake: Screw him. The batter is getting paid to perform too. The integrity of the game and professional pride demand that you do everything you can to try to break it up. Otherwise, just go up there and swing and miss on purpose and gift it to him. I can't believe the stupid things people say sometimes.
That ump killing Detroit's perfect game with a bad call. Horrible. If only they had replay back then.
That last hitter is a jerk.
Jim Joyce broke up Armando Galarraga's perfect game and no-hitter, not Jason Donald.
The Sherzer one makes me laugh "that's the worst way to lose a perfect game" apparently he hasn't seen the Galarraga/Jim Joyce game. At least Sherzer didn't have it taken away by an umpire.
But in a way the umpire was responsible for that too. If a player intentionally allows himself to be hit by a pitch, it would fall on one of the umpires to catch that and penalize the hitter by changing the call to a strike. If that's what really happened, and the umps missed it, then the perfect game was taken away by the umpire.
Jim was out of position the Umpire running from home plate should have over ruled him.
Anyone else hear about Rich Hill's no hitter into the 10th inning and loses the game with the only hit allowed? Amazing
