History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Making History

With his Chicago White Sox teammates about to mob him, pitcher Mark Buehrle reacts to his having thrown a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday July 23, 2009. Buehrle threw a total of only 116 pitches in Chicago's 5 - 0 victory.

This was the second no hitter of the 30 year old's career, but only the 18th perfect game in the history of Major League Baseball. He joins the likes of Randy Johnson, Sandy Koufax, Cy Young, and Lee Richmond, who pitched the very first perfect game in 1880.
