[accordian class="" id=""][toggle title="He purposefully gave up a run when pitching a perfect no-hitter that got him offers from major baseball teams." open="no"]TRUTH: According to Dr. Feit, "I was just out of my residency and completed a try out for a baseball team at the Jersey Shore for college kids trying to make it to the next level. The pitcher who was scheduled to play that day was ill and I got the nod. I pitched a perfect game through 7 innings when the catcher came out to the mound to beg me to walk a batter to let him try to throw the runner out if he tried to steal second base. Without questioning him I did and he picked off their third base coach's signs to steal, threw a perfect outside rising fastball to allow the catcher the best opportunity to throw the runner out which he did. At the end of the game the catcher said these guys want to meet you. They were each in their 80's and one was with the Twins and the other with the Cubs. They wanted to sign me. Moral: you never know who is watching you. Always do your flat out best, always."[/toggle][/accordian]
