Breaking up a perfect game with a bunt: Bush League or okay?

A few days ago, I ran into an old friend who reminded me of a time in 5th grade when I broke a guy’s arm. I thought back about it and remembered why it happened. The guy had gone after me in school one day for breaking up his perfect game the day before.

This was back when I lived in Skokie, which is becoming a shithole of a town. Turning into a gang town too. It was a Skokie League baseball game. The guy pitching had a perfect game against our team, he needed only 2 more outs to get it. We were losing 10-0 at the time also.

I was up. I went to my coach, I was like, “Coach, this guy is a bully to me in school, they don’t do nothing about it, can I please, please, please break up his perfect game with a bunt?” Coach was like, “Sure, go ahead. I didn’t even realize he had a perfect game against us.”

So I come up. I decided to hit left-handed instead of right-handed this time. I am a right-handed hitter, despite the fact I do almost everything else left-handed. At certain times, I would hit left-handed just to mix things up, as I can hit left-handed, but I am stronger from the right side. I would bat lefty whenever I bunted or when I was trying to advance a runner with a ground ball.

At any rate, I come up hitting left-handed. First pitch he throws, I lay down a drag bunt, the reason I batted left-handed whenever bunting. I manage to push the bunt into no-man’s land, past the triangle of the pitcher, 1B, and 2B. I reached first base safely, breaking up his perfect game and no-hitter. I then promptly steal 2B, and then 3B. The batter flied out, and I scored on the sacrifice fly, breaking up the shutout as well. We end up losing 10-1, but I managed to break up his perfect game, no-hitter, and shutout.

The next day in school, he tries to punch me for breaking up his perfect game. I was at my locker, getting some stuff. He throws his punch. I duck. Arm goes right into my locker. I slam the door shut on his arm. I slammed it so bad, you could hear the bone breaking. Got off scot-free too. Guy never pitched again.

So I ask you, is it okay to break up a perfect game with a bunt, or is it Bush League?
