Roy Halladay throws a Perfect Game

[ChanceSchmerr]

As a long-time Blue Jays fan whose heart was broken when he demanded and got a trade out of town, this makes me want to cry....and smash something . You knew he would do it one day, but to see it in a crummy Phillies jersey - what a punch to the gut.

I hate baseball sometimes.

I feel you....I'm a Mariner fan. We had high expectations before the season began. We had Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez...1 Cy Young winner and a runner up last year. Now look at us....in last place. I'm pissed I bought the baseball package. $180....could have bought a nice box of cigars for that!!! ha ha...

For the sake of us who don't know.... but what does it mean to "throw a perfect game"?

[ChanceSchmerr]

In baseball, if the starting pitcher pitches the whole game, and allows no batter to reach base, either by hit, walk, error, hit by pitch or anything. 27 batters up, 27 batters down.

There have been only 20 perfect games in 134 years of Major League Baseball.

That sounds like it would have been special to see. Im sure the crowd were going nuts.

There has been 2 perfect games this year already. Amazing

it is amazing. I wonder if there is going to be an increased number going forward for some reason. we also saw a no hitter this season, though those aren't nearly as rare, but almost as impressive

I was at the Blue Jays game yesterday, wearing my Halladay jersey... go figure!

Although I too hate to see him do it for the Phillies instead of the Jays, he's always going to be a Jay in his roots, and I'm just happy for him.

Congrats Roy!

The man is just filthy. Wish I went to the game last night to see a wonderful display of baseball history.

Halladay was nasty!!!!!!

I think with "less"guys using PED's we will see more dominance from these pitchers....
