"The pitch...swung on and missed, a PERFECT GAME! On the scoreboard in right field, it is 9:46pm in the city of the Angels, Los Angeles, California. And a crowd of 29, 139, just sitting in to see the only pitcher in baseball history to hurl four no-hit, no-run games. He has done it four straight years and now he capped it on his fourth no-hitter, he made it a perfect game. And Sandy Koufax, whose name will always remind you of strikeouts, did it with a flourish. He struck out the last six consecutive batters." -Vin Scully calls Sandy Koufax's perfect game, September 9, 1965.
