Here's an easy one for the weekend. I expect nothing but 100% from GRBers, hungover or not.

Can you name the memorable moments in baseball?

haddix pitched like, 12 no-hit innings, but then gave up a hit (and lost) in the 13th inning -- or something like that.

I got two wrong -- and can't believe I got them wrong.

Add spoiler tags if you're gonna post answers plz.

I would have missed that one, so I'm not counting it. I missed 1960 as well, and can't believe I have no recollection of 1991 but guessed right.

Harvey Haddix Perfect Game Box Score
Thirty-six consecutive batters were retired by Harvey Haddix before the thirteenth inning — when it all ended on an error, an intentional walk of Hank Aaron, then a double.

Don Hoak, who was charged with the error in the thirteenth inning, said before the game, "That was a pretty good run down (pre-game discussion). If you pitch that way, you'll have a no hitter."

After the game, Lew Burdette told the media, "I called Harvey that night in the visiting clubhouse. I told him 'I realize I got what I wanted, a win, but I'd really give it up because you pitched the greatest game that's ever been pitched in the history of baseball. It was a damned shame you had to lose.' "
And I got the no-hit guy wrong, not because I didn't know him but because I couldn't spell his name right (or at least close enough for it to be recognized).
