Southpaw Harvey Haddix had logged a solid but unspectacular career by the time he took the mound on May 26, 1959. Facing the Milwaukee Braves, he set down the first 36 batters in a row, or 12 innings' worth--a perfect game three innings longer than the norm. But his Pittsburgh Pirates couldn't score, either, and Haddix lost in the 13th inning on a controversial play. This book recounts Haddix's one-of-a-kind performance and describes the official decisions that changed the historical record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lew Freedman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786441240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786441242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland and Company, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.48w x 0.51d","brand":"Lew Freedman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431315493119,"sku":"9780786441242","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b003ecfb-982a-42c9-a789-04655d65e313.jpg?v=1735140956","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hard-luck-harvey-haddix-and-the-lew-freedman-9780786441242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
