Bucking the St. Louis Perfecto Jinx?
After three full innings, announcer Joe Buck stated that Matt Morris had just completed three perfect innings. Of course, tradition has it that speaking about a perfect game or no-hitter while it is in progress is vorboten. The speaker would jinx the pitcher and put his masterpiece in harm's way. I don't buy that, but it is interesting that Morris hit Kenny Lofton, the next batter he faced, thereby losing the perfect game.
