My bad, you are right. That would be the greatest pitching performance ever.

Ironically that game DID have the commissioner over rule an on the field call.....
A fielding error by Don Hoak ended the perfect game in the bottom of the 13th, with Felix Mantilla being safe at first base. Mantilla later advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, which was followed by an intentional walk to Hank Aaron. Joe Adcock then hit an apparent home run, ending the no-hitter and the game. However, in the confusion, Aaron left the basepaths and was passed by Adcock for the second out and the Braves won 2-0. Eventually the hit was changed from a home run to a double by a ruling from National League president Warren Giles; only the first Braves run counted, for a score of 1-0, but the Pirates and Haddix still lost

what was Cabrera doing picking up that ball so far over to 2nd base? just saying, it looks like an easy ground ball for the 2nd baseman.

yeah, I think he was just super pumped up..... Donald being a right hander hitter, the infield was shaded to the left a bit more.... but still that ball was softly hit and Guillen would have gotten to it easily and thrown Donald out by 15 feet
