A magical thing happened in baseball last night:

Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox pitched the 18th perfect game in major league history!

Through May 21st, 345,950 major league baseball games have been played. .0052% were perfect games.

WOW.

Even if this guy lost every other game he pitches from here on out, he's got a spot on the wall in Cooperstown.

Did you see the catch made by Dewayne Wise? That was unbelievable. I saw it on YouTube and the hush that came over the crowd as the ball left Kapler's bat and then subsequent cheers as he made that over-the-wall grab gave me shivers.

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

Just awesome to watch the 9th inning live. Feels like a great season in baseball this year for some reason.

Weird. I had a poste eaten on this thread earlier in which I thanks Caps for posting that, and said that I hadn't seen that until now. The radio story I heard didn't do that catch justice.

Mental_Floss just told me via Twitter that nobody has caught more MLB no-hitters than Boston's Jason Varitek (Hideo Nomo, Derek Lowe, Clay Buchholz & Jon Lester).

You could have added Curt Schilling to the list if he hadn't been a jackass and shaken tek off with two outs in the ninth inning of a no-hit bid.

What an ass!

Nice to see this posted here.

On one of the local radio sports shows this morning, they gave 5min to this and 20min to the Erin Andrews Peephole Video :-/

I saw it. I feel bad, but I saw it.

Meh... I saw it as well. Apparently it's been out for some time, but didn't get much notice until Deadspin posted about it. I guess I'm a peeping Tom...lol.

The perfect game was a bigger story though.
