Southpaw Harvey Haddix had logged an unspectacular career by the time he took the mound on May 26, 1959. Haddix faced the Milwaukee Braves and set down the first 36 batters in a row, or 12 innings' worth - a perfect game three innings longer than the norm. This book intends to recount Haddix's one-of-a-kind performance.
