Perfect

Perfect games in baseball don’t come around very often. Twenty-seven up. Twenty-seven down. No hits. No runs. No errors. And your team wins.

Dude on the Chicago Whitesox did it yesterday.

27 up 27 down

Read the wikipedia link. It’s got some fascinating tidbits about “almost” perfect games. Some games are heartbreakers, lost on the final batter. Some are past perfect because of going to extra innings. The Babe was involved in one. As the starter for Boston he was thrown out of the game arguing with the umpire after walking the first batter. His replacement pitches a perfect game afterwards. This I learned at the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore.
