So with that situation it is possible your sim produced the most likely outcome and real life did not.

Thru Sep 2021 there were 311 no-nos thrown, an average of less than 3 per season.
I guess I presumed that with all the high contact hitting and bunting in those early years they'd be harder to procure than in the current TTO environment where the concept of situational hitting is non-existent. I'm eagerly awaiting how the comparison is over the full date range for my save vs historical.
I should add there have been a BUNCH of one-hitters thrown. But not a one perfecto - vs two IRL, one by the Mighty Cy in '04 and one by Addie Joss in '08.
