[net.sport.baseball] no pitch 9 inning game

How about if a pitcher goes to his mouth 4 times while
on the mound (or just refuses to pitch 4 times).  The batter
goes to first, and is thrown out stealing.  Repeat this 3 times
an inning, 9 times a game, and add hot water.  It seems to me
that this pitcher could have a complete game without throwing a 
legal pitch. In fact it's a no-hitter.

As a side-note: Gaylord Perry may well have completed MANY games
without throwing a "legal" pitch.

Yours,
