Magnificent feat for anybody, for a 40 year old, something else again.

Indeed. While a no hitter can be completely in the hands of a pitcher a perfect game also depends on perfect fielding by the teamates so they had a hand in the result as well. Some luck also can play into these things. Last night on the radio someone said Johnson on a few pitches narrowly missed hitting some batters legs or feet.

Yeah, 27 up - 27 down is pretty good, but he went 0 for 4 at the plate. He really needs to work on his hitting.

Kudos to the Big Unit. And the fans were rooting for him.
The way the Bravos are hitting, I predict that they'll have two or three more perfect games thrown at them this year.
