Oh, soooo close! Billy Pierce was a solid pitcher with 211 lifetime victories, and he came within one out of perfection on June 27, 1958. Having disposed of 26 straight batters, Pierce faced pinch-hitter Ed Fitz Gerald, who broke up the perfect game with a double to right field. Pierce then picked up a strikeout to preserve a one-hit shutout. This ticket stub comes from that near-miss. PSA authenticated.
