00:03 Why not?
00:12 I think this is a great move by Bobby Mack, the Yankee skipper,
00:15 sending a kid up.
00:16 Ken Stroud, his first major league at bat.
00:18 He's just young enough and just cocky enough
00:21 to not realize the magnitude of the situation that he's in.
00:28 There's a line block and it might be a line hooking foul.
00:33 And that was too close for comfort for the Tigers
00:37 and for Billy Chappell.
00:38 Well, I don't scare you at all, do I, Stroud?
00:45 Guess you forgot who I am.
00:55 Oh, good thing Billy helped just throw.
00:58 Good thing.
00:59 Oh, Kurt Walsh for shit, he knows it.
01:07 I know it.
01:08 He knows it.
01:13 It's going to hurt a little bit.
01:18 [GRUNTING]
01:23 What's that old line, if you can't keep your head from all
01:26 about your losing theirs, you don't understand the situation?
01:29 Well, that's Kenny Stroud right now as he takes another strike.
01:32 And the count is 0 and 2.
01:34 And with a weary body and no doubt a sore arm,
01:38 now this big crowd, over 56,000, rooting for Billy Chappell
01:43 to do the near impossible.
01:45 It's either going to be your night, kid, or mine.
01:52 [CROWD CHEERING]
01:54 Will this be the last pitch of the game?
01:57 Will this be the last pitch in Billy Chappell's life?
02:00 Will it be the end of his brilliant major league career?
02:03 And if so, what a high note.
02:06 0 and 2, the count to Kenny Stroud.

02:16 [CROWD CHEERING]
02:41 High bouncer off the glove of Chappell.
02:45 He's up.
03:05 He has done it.
03:09 Billy Chappell has pitched a perfect game.
03:12 The cathedral that is Yankee Stadium belongs to a Chappell.
03:17 [CROWD CHEERING]
03:36 You saved!
03:37 Nice job, Chappell.
03:42 I gotta give it to you.
03:44 Nice job.
03:45 [CLAPPING]
03:46 All right, perfect day.
03:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:51 [CROWD CHEERING]
03:54 I told you, Billy.
04:12 Didn't I tell you?
04:13 History, man.
