He pitched a baseball game that was more than perfect, and yet he lost. Southpaw Harvey Haddix had logged a solid but unspectacular career by the time he took the mound on May 26, 1959. Facing the Milwaukee Braves, he set down the first 36 batters in a row, or 12 innings'' worth--a perfect game three innings longer than the norm. But his Pittsburgh Pirates couldn''t score, either, and Haddix lost in the 13th inning on a controversial play. This book recounts Haddix''s one-of-a-kind performance and describes the official decisions that changed the historical record.
