Well in a full 9 Inning Game each time makes 27 outs. (3 outs for 9 innings). Thus combined the teams make 54 outs. So if every player swung and hit very first pitch and every pitch was an out that would be 54 pitches combined with both teams pitchers. However that would end in a 0-0 tie so it would go into extra innings so it wouldn't be a complete game. Thus if you say ONE player hit a first pitch and hit a home run on a first pitch to give his team a 1-0 lead and thus a complete nine inning game then it would be 55 pitches.

However that would mean that both pitchers would have to be PERFECT and COMPLETELY ACCURATE. and the Hitters would have to swing and HIT every FIRST pitch so its almost completely impossible.

No, perfect games must be (at least) 9 innings. Shortened "perfect" games have occurred four times: Rube Vickers and Ed Karger in 1907, Dean Chance in 1967, and David Palmer in 1984. Karger's was 7 innings, the other three were 5.

What would the autographed ball which David Wells pitched a perfect game in 1998 be worth?

A David Wells single signed baseball is worth between $50.-$75. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. A perfect game inscription will add value. If the baseball was used during David Wells perfect game it could have a lower value based on condition. A clean white baseball would be most preferred for the signature. Without being able to prove that the baseball was from the perfect game it will not have added value. The added value will rely on the buyers belief in your story. You would need strong provenance to accompany the baseball. A letter from a player, team, or league official would be needed. A letter from a fan at the game will not hold much weight if any. In a recent auction a David Wells single signed baseball sold for $83.65
