I just got about 8 beautiful 68 Topps cards from ebay today. I was buying some other stuff and grabbed them for cheap...trade bait...hint hint(even though trading is off if you want pristine 68's reach out with an offer...

Anyway... I started this thread because I read the back of Bill Rohr's Rookie card and it says his first major league start was 8 2/3 of a perfect game against the Yankees! Why have I never heard this before??

Checked Wikipedia on that, and, yeah, he matched up against Whitey Ford. He held the Yanks hitless until Elston Howard reached him for a bloop single with two outs in the ninth. Rohr finished with a one-hit, 3-0 shutout. He had walked five, struck out two, and had one reach on an error.

He beat the Yanks again in his next start, but only notched one more win is his big-league career.

Kinda like Dave Stieb came close to 2 straight no hitters but his perfecto was blown with 1 out remaining.
