Perfect Game Pitchers

Since 1901 there have been 24 perfect games thrown in the American and National Leagues and 16 of those pitchers have signed this incredible sheet. Don Larsen thew his gem in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series for the New York Yankees. Five perfect game pitchers who signed this sheet — Jim Bunning, Sandy Koufax, Catfish Hunter, Randy Johnson and Roy Halladay — were elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Two other signers, Harvey Haddix and Pedro Martinez, each pitched nine perfect innings but lost their perfect games in extra innings.
