Part 5/9:
One of the crowning achievements of Joss’s career occurred in 1908 when he pitched a perfect game against future Hall of Famer Ed Walsh. This match, noted as one of the most tightly contested perfect games in history, resulted in a 1-0 victory, with the game's only run arising from a botched pickoff attempt. Joss threw only 74 pitches, establishing a record for the fewest pitches in a perfect game—a feat that continues to resonate within the annals of baseball history.
