- "In 1884, overhand pitching was legalized." That would be one reason why a perfect game in 1880 would be a little different. - TFox Jul 23, 13:29 1
  - In 1887, they outlawed punching the batter in the face. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 13:32
maybe 18 prefect games by 16 different pitchers? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 13:25 1
- 18 games, 18 pitchers, but 2 of them were in 1880. MLB refers to that as "prior to the modern era of baseball", which begins in 1900. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 13:26
