    Top "Play Of The Year" type catch... Full sprint to the warning track and he stretched out to rob a clear home run then he is kind of juggling the ball to the ground to save the perfect game! :eek:

    I can't believe I just watched that. Probably the only one I will ever see in my life.

    That catch was f'n amazing. The play itself + the situation = play of the year.

    Buehrle was feeling it. 116 pitches, and he became a part of history.

    It's not like they happen 50 years apart.

    Randy Johnson had one in 2004. Before that I think was David Cone in the late 90s.

    Rare, yes, but not "once in a lifetime"

    the night Randy got his in 2004, I was at Wrigley Field watching the Giants play the Cubs. Jason Schmidt pitched what would have been a no-hitter (and maybe even a perfect game -- i forget) but for a little trickler up the 3rd base line that was beat out. would have been amazing to have seen 2 no hitters (much less, 2 perfect games) thrown on the same night.

    you're right. I just assumed someone saying "Probably the only one I will ever see in my life." had to have been there, considering how many have happened in the last 20 years--that's all
