July 23, 2009: Mark Buehrle and the perfect game






Mark Buehrle was an outstanding pitcher:  214 wins & 3.81 ERA.
 
He threw a no-hitter against a very tough Texas lineup in 2007.
 
 
Every perfect game has its moments. (In 1994, I remember watching Rusty Greer saving Kenny Rogers' perfect game with a diving catch!)
 
Around the 7th inning, one of the Rays hit a shot down the left field line. It was foul by an inch!
 
In the 9th inning, Dewayne Wise made one of the greatest catches in major league history.
 
How in the world did this guy catch-up with the line drive, jump over the fence and hold on to the ball?
 
Congratulations to Mark Burhle for pitching the 18th perfect game in MLB history on this day in 2009.
