Dubious Claim

[edit]

This claim:

The perfect game set the record for most consecutive hitless innings in a World Series; the Brooklyn Dodgers failed to record a hit in eleven consecutive innings.

doesn't hold up to an inspection of the box score or the play-by-play of the fourth game.

The Dodgers got a couple of hits, and a run, in the ninth inning of Game 4. Obviously, they got nothing in Game 5. In Game 6, they got a hit in the first inning. In short, you're right, and it's hard telling where that wrong bit of info came from, but it's outa here. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 02:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Incredibly, this error was added over three years ago [1] and 96 just now caught it. Well, nobody's perfect. Except Larsen. And 17 others. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 03:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
