No. It helps, but one game doesn't make you a hall-of-famer

No.
The Hall of Fame is about your career as a whole, and the ballot includes a morals clause.
Pitching a perfect game, even a no hitter, does mean that the HOF will ask for some souvenir from the pitcher, his shoes, jersey, cap, whatever. It will be used as a part of the exhibit covering that particular season, and that particular season, for whatever reason, can be featured at any time in the future.

Absolutely not. There is certain criteria voters look for when selecting hall of famers. Overall contribution to the game, 300 wins, 3000 strikeouts, many world series championships, Cy Young awards, etc. Perfect games, unless someone throws like 5 of them, is not used as a criteria.

i think of he's a huge pitcher. corridor of repute remains to be considered. Bt no, he did no longer get fortunate. you may't throw a suitable interest purely on good fortune. you're able to decide to be a reliable pitcher interior the 1st place. That reported, even most of the main suitable pitchers (think of Bob Gibson, as an occasion) on no account had one. And no one has come close to to 2 suitable video games. So even with the undeniable fact which you like each and everything to pass astonishing, that would not recommend that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can throw a perfecto merely via being fortunate.

Tom Browning pitched a perfect game, and he is far from a Hall of Famer.

Nope not at all. It just means they retired all 27 batters in a row in ONE game. Getting into the HOF takes a CAREER that is at the top level. Here's a link to all the perfect games in MLB history: http://www.teambios.com/Baseball's%20Perfect%20Game.htm
David Cone, Kenny Rogers, Mike Witt and David Wells are on that list. I really doubt ANY of those guys will even get close to 1/2 the votes needed to get into the HOF.
>> Update to Willie G: Thanks for clarifying. I knew that, just didn't type it in the way it should have been... but you are also incorrect, as a perfect game also means no errors. ;-)

no.. but el refe a perfect game isnt retiring all 27 batters in a row because thats what buerle did last night.. a perfect game is no BB's and no H's.
