Len Barker Perfect Game Box Score by Baseball Almanac

Len Barker Perfect Game Box Score

The Big Donkey, as he was called by his manager, threw a brutal slider and a blazing fastball on a night when only a handful of fans turned out to see a gem at Cleveland Stadium. The game temperature was a frigid forty-nine degrees, but the often wild righthander was on fire.

"Len Barker has serious control tonight, not just over the plate but the corners of the plate as well." - Herb Score
