You just had to love it. Those of us left in section 35 were going wild. We had sat bored through the middle of the game, but now. in the last quarter, we were excited. We wanted Rex and his boys to score, and the sooner the better, so that...
...been the eleventh perfect game since professional baseball began 100 years ago. Cub Manager Leo Durocher was roundly unimpressed. The next day, when the Mets committed two errors in one inning and went on to lose to the Cubs 6-2, Durocher, who is neither magnanimous in victory nor mellow in defeat, smugly observed: "Those were the real Mets...
