Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I would guess that if a batter hit
a catchable foul pop that a fielder dropped, that fielder would be given
an error even if the batter were retired on a subsequent pitch.  If twenty-
seven batters came to the plate without any reaching first base, this would
still be a perfect game.

Since there have been so few perfect games, it's quite possible that this has
never happenned.
