Perfect game

  • Get ready for more. The perfect game Saturday for White Sox right-hander Philip Humber is just another sign of the times.

  • Philip Humber's perfect game served as a painful reminder to Mets fans that no pitcher has thrown a no-hitter in the franchise's history, and seven men who used to be Mets now have.

  • Phil Humber, who underwent Tommy John surgery seven years ago, threw the first perfect game in the majors in almost two years, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
  • (Tri-City Herald)
  • Buehrle is no longer the last White Sox pitcher to throw a perfect game. Buehrle said he watched the final inning of Humber's perfecto last night and he joked that he was more nervous watching it than he was during his own perfect game.
  • (Palm Beach Post (blog))
  • The Chicago White Sox righthander joined an elite club Saturday by throwing Major League Baseball's 21st perfect game.
  • (Sporting News)
  • Pelfrey remembered Humber pitching around 88 miles per hour at the time.
  • (New York Times Blogs)
  • In every sport, there are certain single-game milestones that cause fans to take a break from whatever they are doing to just say, Wow! In football, the 500 Club -- 500 or more passing yards in a single game -- is a fantastic benchmark.

  • Another perfect game? Ho Humber. This is getting routine.
  • (CNN Sports Illustrated)
  • And this is why baseball rules. On a random Saturday in April, in front on a small matinee crowd in Seattle, a former top prospect can rear back to finally realize his promise — and make one of the rarest kinds of baseball history while doing so.
  • (YAHOO!)
