 Bunning, who at the time had seven children, said that his game, pitched on Father's Day, could not have come at a more appropriate time.He remarked that his slider was his best pitch, just like the no-hitter I pitched for Detroit six years ago.Bunning became the first pitcher to throw a winning no-hitter in both leagues, and posted the first regular-season perfect game since Charlie Robertson in 1922 (Don Larsen's prior perfect game was in the 1956 World Series).
