3/2/73:
Arizona State left-hander Eddie Bane pitches a perfect game against Cal. State-Northridge as the Sun Devils win, 9-0. Only 5'9" and 165 pounds, Bane compiles a 41-4 record in three years at ASU with over 500 strikeouts. He’ll be the No. 1 draft choice of the Minnesota Twins (11th overall) and be elevated to the majors immediately without any stopovers in the minors. His big-league debut will draw over 45,000 to Metropolitan Stadium on the Fourth of July, but his bright promise will fade quickly and by 1976 he’ll be out of baseball.
