Before and after his Father’s Day masterpiece, Jim Bunning quietly strung together a remarkable run of perfection against the Mets. Bunning’s perfect game for the Phillies on June 21, 1964 — the first in the National League in the 20th century. What few recall is that his perfection against the Mets actually stretched across three starts. He retired the last four Mets he faced in a June 13 game, then all 27 in his perfect game, and the first 14 in his next matchup with them on August 9 before allowing a bunt single. That’s 45 consecutive Mets up, and 45 sent right back down — a streak of quiet perfection few pitchers have ever matched.
