On July 17th 1977, I was a manager and pitcher for a class C division team called wings playing in the Mercer County New Jersey division in Trenton. We played one game of the tournament in the morning and then had a second game in the afternoon against the team called the Caribbean Indians.. we had played them once before during the regular season but it's always good to come up against the team in a tournament. These were pretty open areas and had good cross breezes. Which is perfect for me because I used to pitch and had an unbelievable fork ball which would be released from being nestled between my thumb and my forefinger. I don't know how I did it but you could count every stitch. And with a strong breeze that ball would move a lot. Two of my regulars were not there for the game so I had a sub at third base and a sub at right field. I'm not going to make this too long cuz nobody might read it for all I know. This is my first time here. But around the 5th inning I'd became aware that nobody had reached Bass yet for the Indians. But like I said, I'm skeptical that this will even be read by anyone but I ended up retiring 21 batters in a row. I still have the ball with everybody's signature on it. There was no internet back then. The local sports reporter for the Trenton times I think his name was Gary snorbis interviewed me at my girlfriend's house and I had a full page write up about a week after the game. After that my 15 minutes of fame is over. I would have went viral had I done it with media that's out there today. That year our annual end of your banquet was held in Scranton and Pittsburgh pirates player Bill Robinson was a guest as well as New York Yankee Hall of Fame pitcher whitey Ford. I won the MVP that year and when I went up to receive the trophy the announcer told whitey Ford about my perfect game. Waiting for reach out with his hand and then motion a underhand delivery and he said "are you serious? You pitched a perfect game like this?". Yeah, you can't feel any better than impressing whitey Ford about your pitching.
That was the last year of our 3 years as a team. We started at the minor league and when that championship next year we went into the international league we won that championship and our final year we were in the national League and won that championship. I'm quite proud of what I did. But I cannot find any information about the game I Google it there's no listing of anybody pitching a perfect game. I'm getting your 70 now and I would really like to have it noted somewhere. Hell, the Trenton New Jersey softball Hall of Fame doesn't even have mention of it. This past week there was something in one of the sites I went to her a guy who was playing in a Hall of Fame USSA tournament which I assume means playing against a bunch of old guys claimed that he had only perfect game. And that game was canceled after four innings to some kind of Mercy rule. Wear if the teams up by a certain amount of runs call the game and it doesn't go any further. So hell, he's taking credit for a perfect game at four and a half innings. At four and a half innings I didn't even think about a perfect game it wasn't till the 5th. And if you want pressure try making those last 9 out without shaking a little. Well, that's all I got to say. If anybody out there can help me get some recognition for this I would be so happy and I would make me feel good for my grandchildren. And if someone can tell me why there was no note of that accomplishment in the Trenton softball Hall of Fame I would love to understand that. And if somebody knows how I can get a copy of that article that was printed at the end of July that year I would love to see that. I don't know what side I'm even on now but if anybody can help me and please call or text me my name is Casey George my phone number is 910, 264-8152 I played in Trenton New Jersey and I moved to Wilmington North Carolina in 1993 and that's where I am now. I'm going to take a picture of the softball
