One-hit wonder.(Inside The Box Score)
Twice in his career, righthander Mike Mussina has taken a perfect game into the ninth inning. Each time he has finished with a 1-hitter. Once, pitching for the Yankees in 2001, he got to two outs in the ninth and two strikes on the third hitter, Boston's Carl Everett, who looped a single into left field at Fenway.
So near to perfection and yet ... settling for a 1-hitter. How's that feel? Turn to page 12 to find out in Mussina's words.
Meantime, understand that even near-misses are full of footnotes beyond the pitching, as in the case of Mussina's near-perfect game on May 30, 1997, at Camden Yards in Baltimore. That time, Indians catcher Sandy Alomar broke up the perfecto with one out in the ninth inning.
But, wait, there's more inside the box score.
