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.
