Harvey Haddix in 1959, 12 perfect innings (!) against an awesome Milwaukee Braves lineup. That story actually made me cry when I read about it as a kid, how unfair it seemed that he lost.
A similar question: What is widely considered to be the greatest single-game performance in a game by a major league ballplayer?
(Hint: it happened in 1971, and not Reggie shot off the light tower in the All-Star game)

Orioles, 1971, palmer, Cueller, McNally, Dobson and Palmer
and the robinson "Brothers" - Baybee - What a TEAM!
and "greatest performance" in 1971 - well, there were so many grea performances that year. Willie Mays filling in for Cepada at 1st and playing a heck of a first along with a couple of doubles and a HR. Any game Brooks Robinson played in. You might say it was Clemente in the 7th game of the WS that year.

I love that one. Vida Blue.

Another good one. Hank and Tommie Aaron. I think Tommie hit 13 or so, but Hank picked up the slack with 755.

Babe Ruth walked the first batter of a game and was ejected. Shore came in and picked off the runner (or he was caught stealing, I can't remember which) and retired the following 26 batters for a perfect game.
My favorite: Four men have hit 61 or more home runs in a season. One pitcher has struck out all four. Name that pitcher. | AWArulz

That's easy. He and Ruth combined for a No-No. Ernie relieved him after one batter when the Babe was ejected.
Now, that top one:
Father-Son - most HR
Brothers - Most wins
Those are always good ones. Good catch on Vida - I was thinking Mantle
