In 1917 the Red Sox pitcher and catcher were tossed by the umpire for arguing balls and strikes after the first batter walked. When the Red Sox brought in a new pitcher and catcher the base runner was promptly thrown out trying to steal second. The pitcher then retired the next 26 batters in a row. For a while he was credited with a Perfect Game. Not anymore though.
The pitcher who got tossed in the first--Babe Ruth.
