20 Wins Club : 1976 - 2006

Words alone cannot describe pitching's top "club" and most desired goal - the masterpiece of any career, the pinnacle of the pitching aspect and one of the most difficult feats to achieve in the entire game of baseball is the perfect game. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the ACTUAL score card from the first perfect game ever thrown in Major League history.

"Despite a lifetime losing record, (Lee) Richmond managed to cram several firsts into his six-year career. He was the first left-handed curveballer, the first medical student to play major league baseball, the first pitcher to win 20 games with a last-place club, the victim of the first grand slam, and the first to toss a perfect game." - Don Dewey in The Biographical History of Baseball (1995)
