Keep your eyes on Atlanta folks as it's shaping up to be a *really* quick night for the Diamondbacks... Johnson did it once in 1990 but he's never done it like this.
Go to the source URL and click his mug shot on the left.
One of the few guys in the Majors right now who can pull it off (Clemens could, also - under ideal conditions).
Perfect game. 118 pitches, 90 strikes. One of the best pitching performances ever.
AWESOME!!!! Great job RJ! And to think the Tribe could have traded for him some years back....
Thanks for the heads up, watched the last inning.
remember that game with Mussina - last Red Sox got him.
One of the all time great pitchers.
Next time he drives to the ballpark, writes down a list of names, hands it to the official scorer, and goes home.
great! i watched a perfect game on freerepublic!
WOW! Can't thank you enough for the heads-up.
At 40, he's the oldest ever to pitch a perfect game!
The only other guy that crosses my mind is maybe Schilling, but I don't know if he has the stuff.
I missed it.:(
ESPNEWS: Oldest pitcher to throw a perfect game (40 yrs 251 days).
Great pics as always! Thank you hole_n_one (disappointed at the lack of artist's conceptions, however! :-) )
You're welcome!
Awesome! Who's the oldest to throw an SHO? ISTR Phil Niekro did it at 45 or so...
QUICK TRIVIA: Who's the second oldest? (Hint - I saw the game on TV, and I'm younger than the big unit).
David Wells?
Good guess - but no.
