RAY: Well, it's time for the new puzzler.

TOM: Yeah.

RAY: I can't take credit or discredit for this.

TOM: Good.

RAY: I will assign that to its author, Philip Brett, who sent this to us via e-mail and you can heap either praise or criticism on him as is required.

TOM: We are going to give out his home address and everything.

RAY: Absolutely.

TOM: Phone numbers.

RAY: This has to do -- well, he writes this has to do with baseball. He says this puzzler involved a historic baseball game which took place in June of this past year, i.e. 1997. It was notable not for what happened that day but for what didn't happen.

TOM: Whoo, yeah.

RAY: And it had nothing to do with the actual playing of the game so to speak. It was not a statistical kind of thing. Is that a fair hint?

TOM: Yeah, OK.

RAY: It was not a no-hitter or a double no-hitter. It was you know...

TOM: Yeah, OK, that's a good hint. That's good.

RAY: That's a good hint. So what happened in June.

TOM: Or what didn't happen.

RAY: Or what -- more importantly -- a lot of things didn't happen. But of the things that didn't happen, what was the most important of those vis-a-vis major league baseball.

TOM: Baseball, yeah.

RAY: And by the way the last time that this didn't happen was like maybe more than 50 years ago.

TOM: Really?

RAY: I think so.

TOM: Yeah.
