No. 2: Jim Bunning vs New York Mets (6/21/1964)

Final line: 9 IP 10 K 0 R 0 H 0 BB

The first perfect game in franchise history. Another Phils pitcher to take a reference very seriously, this one is “never get a second chance to make a first impression.) In Bunning’s first year as a Phillie he posted a career low ERA and a career high in strikeouts. But on June 21st 1964 Bunning became the seventh man ever to accomplish pure perfection.
