It looks like Rusty Greer’s diving catch to save Kenny Rogers’ perfect game has been dethroned as one of the best catches to save a perfect game. DeWayne Wise made this fantastic catch to save Mark Buehrle’s perfect game.
The Youtube video above will probably get removed, as MLB tends to get that stuff offline quickly, if it is gone, go here. Stupid mlb not allowing embedded clips. :(
I haven’t watched the detail on the MLB Network or Baseball Tonight as I write this, but what do you need to know? Perfect game – 27 up, 27 down. Good for him. I also really got a kick out of the story of Barack Obama calling him up for congrats.
Wasn’t Buehrle the one who no-hit us last year? Regardless, a perfect game is an incredible feat. Congrats to him, wish I could have seen it.
Yeah, it was him. :)
