entire game is a major league record. Koufax threw 113 pitches during the game, 79 of which were strikes. Five days after the perfect game, the Koufax-Hendley rematch took place at Wrigley Field. This time, Hendley defeated Koufax, 2–1. Until the Philadelphia Phillies' Cole Hamels, a future Cub, no-hit the Cubs on July 25, 2015, the perfect game had been the last no-hitter to be pitched against them. They had gone the longest of all Major League teams since a no-hitter was last pitched against them—a span of 7,920 games. According to Leavy, it was known throughout the league that Koufax "telegraphed" his pitches: another "hitch" in his windup told batters whether the curveball or fastball was coming. Cubs outfielder Al Spangler reminded teammates of this just before the game. Cubs player Billy Williams later groused that "We knew what was coming, and we still couldn't hit it." In 2015, Grantland gave a detailed account of the game for the 50th anniversary of its occurrence, featuring a video clip of an interview Koufax gave after the game as well as other video clips interviewing those involved in this game.
