This is obviously because Obama is a White Sox fan and he can do anything.

Duuude. This was a perfect game. He didn't allow a hit and allowed no walks.

I believe the old ballpark was called Alinsky Field.

I do believe he’s a left-handed pitcher.
To: fkabuckeyesrule
Ohhh, that would piss me off!
I’ve never seen a perfect game or a no hitter in person. The closest I came was in 2001 when I was at Shea Stadium and saw Glendon Rusch pitch a one hitter against the Red Sox. The only hit was a leadoff bunt single in the first inning.

Nothing like a little bi-partisianship, eh? Fantastic game saved by a great chance in the ninth. Centerfielder Wise was off like a shot knowing he was going to have to hit the wall to make the chance which he did grabbing the ball over the fence. He smashed into it knocking the ball out of his glove then grabbed it again as both fell to the ground.
Buerhle was in command the whole game other than that and a couple of near miss fould down the left field line. Three batters took him to 3 balls but he wouldn’t give them the fourth.

I saw Phil Niekro take a nohitter into te 9th inning in Cincy once but Ken Griffey Sr got a hit.

There is no equivalent in any other sport. It’s kind of like shooting par in golf with opposing players defending the holes.

I know nothing about his career but wish him the best.

We call it a perfect game, and yet, after a hundred years of baseball and more, aren’t we still waiting for a twenty-seven strike-out game?
Twenty-seven batters up, twenty-seven batters down. Boom. Just like that.
That’d be something to see.

.... and three pitches per batter ... every pitch a strike

Just checked a baseball record book and the closest anyone has come, and there were several, is 20 strikeouts per game.
