I don't know, but is there anything more exciting than a perfect game in baseball? I just watched the final inning of some Seattle pitcher's perfect game (I guess he's well-known, but I don't know his name) and was rooting hard for the guy. I was all pumped up. When he got it, I cheered, too. How cool!
All those years and all those games, had to be well over a thousand, likely many more, I think I was really involved in only one no-hitter, not even a perfect game. (OK, I tossed a perfect game as a kid, 9 or 10 years old, but it only went three innings and 9 outs--that doesn't count.) My college teammate Rick Murphy tossed one against, get this, our biggest rival, Williams. Yep, we were excited. And, imagine a kid who didn't pitch but a couple of innings all year, who started the second game of the DH against Williams, Dave McCarthy, throwing a 1-hitter! Yes, true story.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
