I'm still in disagreement how the official records of MLB decided to not award perfect games to those who pitched perfectly in the allotted 9 innings:
1917: Ernie Shore (Bos) in the infamous Babe Ruth ejection, whereas Ruth was thrown out of the game for disputing the ump's call when he walked the first baserunner. Ernie Shore came in to relieve, the baserunner Morgan was thrown out stealing, and Shore retired the next 26 Senators in a row. The shrewd record keepers for MLB decided to not uphold Shore's credit of a perfect game when rules were revised in the early '90s.
1959-Harvey Haddix (Pgh) had the best pitching performance of anyone in major league history when he retired every Milwaukee Brave in order for 12 innings, only to have the error and Adcock double (the ball left the yard, Adcock passed Aaron , tho, and was relegated to a double) in the 13th to end the incredulous string.
1995- Pedro Martinez retired all 27 Padres in the first nine innings before Bip Roberts singled leading off the 10th.
I know Mark Gardiner of the Giants had a no-hitter thru 9 sometime around '91, but gave up a hit in extra innings, and MLB does not want to enshrine this. They also took away one of Jim Maloney's no-nos due to the fact he surrendered a hit in extra innings.
I also strongly disagree with MLB's inability not to award a pitcher a shutout if he keeps the opposition off the scoreboard thru the first 9 innings. I believe Burleigh Grimes, the last legal spitter, had perhaps 8 or 10 of these that he doesnt get credit for.
