The 24th perfect game in MLB history, 4th in Yankees history. German threw just 99 pitches, 72 strikes.

You never know who might accomplish this ultra-rare feat. Some of the pitchers were all-time greats such as Cy Young and Sandy Koufax, but others had mediocre careers or worse. But for one night, absolute magic.

The first MLB perfect game since Felix Hernandez in 2012, and the first at the Oakland Coliseum since Dallas Braden in 2010.

Braden was one of the announcers on the A’s broadcast on NBC Sports Bay Area.

Sweet. Attendance 12,479, Temp 56º, and Time 2:30. Nice to see a perfect game again. Sad it was at the ghost town of Oakland Coliseum. It gets chilly in the upper decks and I miss seeing Billy Martin in the 1980’s running out of the dugout to give the umps a tough time by kicking dirt in their direction.

Sunday marks the 60th anniversary of the finest pitched game in Major League Baseball history. The Giants beat the Braves 1-0 on a Willie Mays home run in the bottom of the 16th inning.

Both starting pitchers, Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal, pitched complete games.

As a Rays fan, I want the Yankees to lose every game they play. Except this one. Congratulations, Germán.

The 24th perfect game in MLB history

Technically it should be the 25th perfect game in MLB history.

Meh, who doesn’t pitch a perfect game against the A’s? ;)

Needs an asterisk in the stat book noting that this was against the 2023 Oakland A’s.

The first pitcher named German to pitch a perfect game, but Mark Buehrle had a perfect game and his surname looks German.
