^ think of it, can you name the other guys who got a perfect game? can you name the guy who got robbed of the perfect game? the former set is dozens of times bigger than the latter, which is much more rare.
^ Not in 30 years. I doubt it many will remember the robbed perfect game decades from now.
Hes got a point. The most famous 1st baseman I know is Bill Buckner. Just sayin.
I will remember Roy Halladay’s perfect game, but I’m a Phillies fan. I already forget the name of the guy who got screwed, but I can’t remember the guy who pitched the first perfect game this season either. I remember David Wells’ perfect game 10 or so years ago, although I have no idea why.

^ it was Joe Girardi - current Yanks manager
Actually Posada caught Wells’s game. Girardi only caught Cone’s.
yup, you’re right. it was posada. i’m really off this week
