Perfect!

Mark Buehrle threw a Perfect Game yesterday for the Chicago White Sox. That means 27 up and 27 down in order. No double plays. The cool thing about a perfect game is that, unlike a no-hitter when no one gets a hit, no one ever gets on base at all; no walks, no errors. Many times no hitters are broken up with a home run. I don't know why, but it seems that in one pitch all of the things that are on the table are gone in one pitch and swing. The no hitter and shutout are wiped out as the ball flies into the stands. Yesterday Buehrle not only took a no hitter into the last inning but also a perfect game; that's right no walks and no errors. He had put down 24 straight batters. And then it happened; the drive. Let's let Hawk Harrelson call it....



As you can see it was out of the park...for a split second and brought back in by Dewayne Wise helping Buehrle to record only the 18th perfect game in Major League history.
