How about if the first batter gets on by an error, the pitcher complains so
much he gets thrown out of the game, the relief pitcher picks the guy off
first and then retires the last 26 batters?  Yes, this would count as a
perfect game -- in fact, it happened with a walk instead of an error
(in 1916 I think, for the Red Sox, and I think the two pitchers were
Babe Ruth and Eddie [Ernie?] Shore).
