    I walked into a tiny bar with a buddy in Wickenburg, AZ and Randy was in the 3rd inning. We ate and had a couple drinks and it was the 6th inning and Randy was still perfect. I told my buddy we weren't going anywhere. As we watched I realized that when Randy was pitching I had been standing beside our tall bar table and I was holding the table with my left thumb and forefinger. So any time Randy came back out to the mound I got in position as well. I hope Randy appreciates how much I helped him get that perfect game that day.

    It’s crazy how rare perfect games are, yet there were 2 within 3 weeks of eachother in 2010 and three in the 2012 season. They seemed so common for a short period, and then, they vanished. None in the last decade since Felix did it.
    And as a Mariners fan who grew up with the King as his favorite player, I can say I am proud for him to have held the distinction as the last Perfect pitcher for this long.
    One of the few Mariners brags I can make.

My father had to correct me and said, "Not a no-hitter Cassidy, a perfect game. A no-hitter means no hits, but he could still put players on base with a walk. A perfect game means no one reaches base."

    This just goes to show how many things have to go right for someone to throw a perfect game. These guys aren't all HOF pitchers. Couple of 'em I've never even heard of except for this. Think of how many great, great pitchers never threw a perfect game. Nolan Ryan. 7 no-hitters, none perfect. Obviously it's a major achievement for a pitcher, but it really has to be the whole team firing on all cylinders. No errors, no fielder's choice, nothing. It's a defensive win for the whole team, really. Not to mention luck. I mean, no bloop singles, no one goes yard, no little roller that the third baseman can't reach in time.... It's pretty remarkable, and it isn't just the greatest pitchers in the game that get one. I kinda like that.

    Back in the 90's I was visiting a friend who lived south of Boston. He took me to my first game in Fenway Park. Later, after we moved to Washington state he and his wife came out for a visit. The Mariner's weren't doing well and it was a 3 hour drive north to Seattle for a game. I laughingly told him that I would take him to a Mariner game to repay him for taking me to see the Red Sox. He laughed and kidded me about the unequal trade but then he said that he hadn't been to a game in Seattle. I got tickets and we went on a lark since I was not a Mariner fan nor was he. Fate intervened and we saw the perfect game pitched by Felix Hernandez on August 15, 2012. The trip was a fluke but we both got a thrill out of being there to see it since we were longtime baseball players.

Ended winning the game in the 10th. And of course there’s Harvey Haddix who pitched TWELVE perfect innings, that’s 33% more than anyone in this video and it still wasn’t official since he ended up losing the game in the 13th. Come on MLB, let’s think of another category to recognize these incredible achievements that end up as scrap on the editing floor since by your too strict definition, because they were not “perfect”

    In 1999 I had already graduated college and was working so I had money that year to buy my dad and I two seats to the Sunday home game package. Sunday July 18, 1999 was my 22nd birthday, and at the stadium it was Yogi Berra day. The first pitch was thrown by Don Larsen and caught by Berra. Larsen shook Cone’s hand afterwards.
    I’ve been to World Series games and other playoff games, but never - not before or since - have I felt the same excitement as I did watching that last out. Fans were hugging and high fiving. It felt like hours before the cheering subsided.

    Two pitchers who had perfect games removed from being officially perfect games:
    Ernie Shore and Harry Haddix.
    Ernie Shore came in relief for the starter, who walked the first batter, argued the call and was tossed. Ernie Shore induced a double play that inning, getting 27 outs. However, because he faced only 26 batters, MLB said it was not a perfect game. The pitcher Shore replaced? Babe Ruth.
    Harry Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings, still a record for a single game, despite the Braves being able to steal the signs from Smoky Burgess, the Pirates catcher, and tipping off the batter from the 3rd inning on. Haddix was shutting down Hank Aaron and Eddie Matthews, both of whom who knew what pitch was being thrown. However, in the 13th, Haddix finally gave up a walk and a couple of hits and lost the game 1-0 on what ended up being an out of the park single by Aaron. What happened was, Aaron had hit what should have been an HR but one of the base runners ran off the field before touching a base, Aaron had officially passed him on the base paths and both were called out. MLB changed the rules and said since Haddix didn’t complete the game as a perfect game, let alone a no hitter, it would no longer be considered either. Before the game during warmups, Burgess said to Haddix his stuff looked really good and he had a good chance of throwing a no hitter.
