Milt Pappas


Born on today's date, Milt Pappas.

"Any of the four pitches could've been called a strike and the last two were definitely strikes. Froemming came to the mound after Stahl walked and I called him every name that I knew in the English language. When I ran out of names, I started calling him names in Greek." - On his claim that home plate umpire, Bruce Froemming denied him a perfect game on 9-2-72 by awarding a walk to Larry Stahl with two outs in the ninth inning after he had retired 26 straight batters.
