Perfect game

Freak

Sheesh. Hah.

Miguel Batista, Johnson's old teammate, took a no-hitter into the 6th for the Jays tonight... that's gotta count for something. It's nice to see some more quality starting pitching in Toronto.

Sheesh.

I am going to have to go with Freaky Deak on this one. When talking sports, be very careful to verify your stats before tosseing them out there. Thats all us sports geeks have is records and stats/

The Harvey Haddix one is ridiculous..12 perfect innings!!!! And he doesnt even get credit for a perfect game

I would also feel bad for Pedro, but he's an asshole

Ah, I lol'ed.

Man I forgot old Davey Cone had the last perfecto, and only the second one since David Wells 'stop the presses' perfect game.

But absolutely none of these compare to Pirates Doc Ellis' 1970 LSD influenced no-hitter.
