Wow, I've had two perfect games in my (so far) 41 year old historical random debut. One was thrown by Mike F McCormick, who also has another no hitter to his credit and the other was thrown by Len Barker who threw a perfect game IRL against my Blue Jays in 1981. 28 total no hitters so far in 41 years, with the two perfect games. Charlie Hough (of all people) had two no hitters to his credit, and Steve Rogers did as well. The only one of the four pitchers mentioned who wound up in my HoF was Rogers, and he scraped in. Hough was way off, and Barker and McCormick won't come close either. As RchW said that's because a perfect game is merely a snapshot in time, not necessarily a barometer of sustained excellence. McCormick threw the first perfect game in 1932 (league started in 1901), and Barker threw one the very next year, and I've had none in the eight seasons since then.
