Mike,
I must admit that I have never seen a "perfect" inning like you mentioned. I got close once in a LL Majors baseball game however. In the top half of the inning, the pitcher threw three pitches which ended up being 2 line drives back to the pitcher which he caught, and a weak bouncer down the first baseline that the pitcher caught and tagged the runner on the way to 1st,so that was 3 pitches and 3 unassisted outs by the pitcher. In the bottom half of the inning, the first two batters swung at the first pitch and proceeded to fly out to left field and groung out 4-3. The third batter in the inning was obviously imtimidated by his coach who was screaming at his players to take a strike before swinging at a pitch, so he stood there and took three beautiful strikes on the outside edge of the plate, so it took that pitcher 5 pitches to retire the side.
