MILLWOOD IS GOOD
MILLWOOD IS GOOD
It was strike three if there ever was one. Right down the middle at the knees. Ball three the umpire said. One out in the 6th, and Millwood is perfect up to now. Millwood won’t complain, he leaves that to the fans. The boos rain down on the blind ump’s back when the next pitch is lined to left for the Padres’ first hit and first baserunner. That done, the fans rise to their feet with noisy applause to let Millwood know they appreciate his effort.
The first 16 were a breeze.
Then the ump missed strike three at the knees.
The guy should have been out!
The frantic fans shout.
The perfect game was a 6-inning tease.
