Dubious Claim

This claim:

The perfect game set the record for most consecutive hitless innings in a World Series; the Brooklyn Dodgers failed to record a hit in eleven consecutive innings.

doesn't hold up to an inspection of the box score or the play-by-play of the fourth game.

The Dodgers got a couple of hits, and a run, in the ninth inning of Game 4. Obviously, they got nothing in Game 5. In Game 6, they got a hit in the first inning. In short, you're right, and it's hard telling where that wrong bit of info came from, but it's outa here. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 02:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Incredibly, this error was added over three years ago [1] and 96 just now caught it. Well, nobody's perfect. Except Larsen. And 17 others. :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 03:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
