Look, up in the sky; it’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s... Superman!!!
A 147 in snooker is pretty impressive (although it's no no-hit perfect game).
This one by Ronnie O'Sullivan is very beautiful particularly the shot at just over 7 minutes:

And this one is the fastest 147 ever (again by Sullivan when he was younger)

Again, not to be compared to a no-hitter but they're much shorter to watch ;-)
Ironically, Buehrle was the last White Sox pitcher to throw a no-hitter.It's not ironic, it's appropriate. The writer is a dunce.
Buerhle is one of the best Left handers in the game, very dependable and durable who gives you 200+ innings of quality starts every yr, rarely leaves a game before the 7th inning. He has been an All Star multiple times, pitched one other no-hitter and a shutout in the World Series. He has been the anchor of the Sox staff for the last five yrs or so.
Plus, he is a great teammate and helps keep the clubhouse relaxed and ready to play.
