No on 10/2/08 addie joss of the Cleveland Naps threw a 74 pitch perfect game against the CWS both wrong 1944 58 pitches by someone whos name escapes me The person you are thinking of is Red Barrett of the Boston Braves who threw a 58 pitch shutout against the Cincinnati Reds on August 10, 1944. That was not a perfect game. Since pitch counts have been kept Joss' 74 against the White Sox is the fewest pitches in a perfect game. Cone is second with 88.
That was Len Barker on May 15, 1981 when he threw a perfect game against the Toronto Blue Jays, winning 3-0.
