Those of us watching the Yankees-Red Sox game on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend were treated to a vintage Joe Morgan moment. Following A-Rod’s home run off of Jon Lester in the seventh(?) inning, the guys in the booth were discussing the pitch that Lester made, which was really his first mistake of the game, as he had held the Yankees scoreless to that point. Cue Mr. Morgan:
“You can’t pitch a perfect game. No one can.” (Awkward silence) “Except Don Larsen.”
And a bunch of other guys. It’s weird that he used Larsen as his example, when Mark Buehrle pitched a perfect game three weeks ago.
