Sweeney hurls perfect game in Game 1 of Finals

PostMon Jul 27, 2020 5:53 pm

Very rare occurrence in this forest of bats - Charlie Sweeney pitches a perfect game in game 1 of a Finals. I think I recall seeing 1 here, though it certainly was'n't in the playoffs.

My condolences to the victim, one of the best guys around here, egrich ("Rich").

This is a worthwhile read regarding Sweeney, Hoss Radbourn, and the Providence Grays in 1884.

Has nothing to do with Sweeney's perfecto. Just thought you might enjoy the history. It is singular -> 100 (or 101) combined wins and almost 1200 innings in one season. Providence going 84-28 in 1884. After which no one was ever the same.

Well he didn't pull off the double no hitter, but he did toss a shutout. I hate Sweeney.
