The winning pitcher for the Milwaukee Braves that day was Lew Burdette who managed to scatter 12 hits over 12 innings without giving up a single run. His record went to 8-2. Pittsburgh's Haddix pitched 12 and 2/3 innings of perfect Baseball before conceding a hit. His record went to 3-3.

Haddix's performance is arguably the greatest single pitching feat in baseball history. There have been 17 perfect games pitched in the Majors but all of them concluded after nine innings. It is doubtful that Haddix's 12 perfect innings will ever again be duplicated.

I'd like to add that Pittsburgh ss Dick Schofield batted .500 (6-3) and both 1b Rocky Nelson and 3b Don Hoak batted .400 (5-2). Pittsburgh also left 8 runners stranded. It seems that Pittsburgh's base coaching left something to be desired that day. You'd think that somehow, over all those innings, some strategy could have been used to get at least one runner around to score.

Were Horace and Harvey Grant twin brothers?

Yes Horace and Harvey are twins I know this first hand as I was Harvey's room-mate and teammate at Independence Community College in Independence Kansas the main reason people argue against this is that while both went to Clemson which is where Horace finished up , Harvey was a redshirt there which put him one year behind Horace in finishing up. (Harvey Grant played on the 1988 Oklahoma team that lost to Kansas in the National Championship game.)
