Why Catfish Hunter's perfect may be most impressive...

Looking back at the 22 perfect games, Catfish Hunter's gem in 1968 may be most impressive. Why? Check out his batting: 3-for-4, two doubles and three RBI. By far, the best hitting performance. Only five others have managed even a single, including Matt Cain. And, Cain is the only Perfect Club member to score a run.
