TIL that when Len Barker pitched a perfect game for Cleveland in 1981, his grandmother said, "I'm very proud of him. I hope he does better the next time."
This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 89%.
> Last week the Indians' estimable pitching coach, Dave Duncan, told a Cleveland reporter that Blyleven and Barker were the two pitchers on his staff with excellent prospects of throwing no-hitters.
> When Barker arrived at the ball park on Friday, the temperature was on its way down to the mid 40s and a light mist had blown in off Lake Erie.
> In the second inning Cleveland Centerfielder Rick Manning had to run a long way to haul down Damaso Garcia's liner to left-center, but Barker was making the Blue Jays hit the ball at someone virtually every time up.
> Barker threw only 103 pitches during the game, 74 of them strikes.
> None of Barker's teammates mentioned the perfect game in progress until Manning told him "To go get it" as they were going out to start the last inning.
> Sitting out in the Rangers' bullpen that night, perhaps contemplating his control problems, was one Leonard Harold Barker II. Barker was wild in those days in more ways than one.
