[net.sport.baseball] errors in perfect games

Here's another possibility.

Batter hits a long fly ball to right center field.

Center fielder races over, gets a glove on the fly, and drops it.  
Error!!!!

Right fielder, backing up the play makes a bullet throw to 
third ( or second or home) getting the runner, who is 
daring his arm.  

No hit, one error, no one left on base.

No problem about foul pop-ups

I don't think this would be a perfect game, since the batter
would have reached first safely on the error.
