3. In 1965, Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game against the Cubs, winning, 1-0. The Dodgers scored their one run without the benefit of a hit, and they made only one safety the entire game. For five points each:

(a) Who pitched the one-hitter for the Cubs?

(b) Who caught the game for the Dodgers? He later caught one of Nolan Ryan's five no-hitters.

4. In an even more unusual perfect game in 1919, the starting pitcher walked the first batter of the game. Relief pitcher Ernie Shore entered the game, picked the runner off first, and retired the next 26 batters to complete the perfect game. Who was the starting pitcher, and why was he replaced?

5. Only three pitchers have won 200 games at age 30. Cy Young and Walter Johnson were the first two, and the other retired in 1979.
