A Tri-Perfecta for Oakland [View all]

In the Coliseum that the A's owner is desperate to abandon for Las Vegas, THREE perfect games.

• Catfish Hunter. Attendance: 6,298
• Dallas Braden (on Mother's Day with his grandma who raised him in attendance) Attendance: 12,288
• Domingo Germán 12,479

Here are the attendances for the 22 perfect games with attendance figures:
6,298 *
7,290
8,375
10,267
10,598
12,288 *
12,479 *
16,591
21,889
22,472
23,381
25,000
25,086
28,036
29,139
32,026
41,930
42,298
45,560
46,581
49,820
64,519

A's coming in a bit low.
The A's have had great teams UNDER PREVIOUS OWNERS who actually spent money on player salaries.
Catfish deserved better. May 8, 1968. Dunno what caused such low attendance.

Seven have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame: Cy Young, Addie Joss, Jim Bunning, Sandy Koufax, Catfish Hunter, Randy Johnson, and Roy Halladay.
