(More) Chicken Soup for the Baseball Fan's Soul

I know it's not at all DBacks related but I was just listening to Vin Scully's ninth inning call of Sandy Koufax's no-hitter. Thought that may be something that you people here would get a kick out of.

"29,000 fans, and a million butterflies..." - gets me every time.

Cool...

Love the way the crowd acts as a background chorus, cheering and booing with every strike and ball. "A lot of the people in the ballpark are starting to see the pitches with their heart." Wonder if there's a recording of the ninth inning of Johnson's perfect game?

After hearing that,

I don't want to here what Schulte or Munn would have done with RJ's perfect game. It would just break my heart.

The best part was that when Koufax finally got the final out and the crowd erupted, my puppy let out this long and soft "arooo" that lasted until Scully's voice came back. It was the first time I've ever heard him make any such noise and I'm certain that it means he's a really big fan of baseball history.

Perfect Game

I'm still trying to find a DVD or something of that game. I would love to watch it.

How much do you want to pay?

How about $99? They gave away a DVD of it later on that year, and they occasionally pop up on Ebay. The above price does seem a little extortionate, however...
