This Week's Three Trivial Things: Perfect Game Edition
1. Felix Hernandez hurled the first perfect game in Seattle Mariner history last Wednesday, throwing nine perfect blanks for a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. It was just the 23rd perfect game ever thrown in the history of Major League Baseball.
2. Hernandez's perfecto is the third perfect game this season in MLB. That's the most perfect games ever to happen in one MLB season. It's the seventh perfect game have a final score of 1-0.
3. Nobody has thrown two perfect games, but Sandy Koufax almost did. On June 4, 1964 Koufax threw a no-hitter v. the Philadelphia Phillies. What kept it form being a perfect game was that Koufax walked the Phillies' Dick Allen with two outs in the top of fourth inning. Koufax still faced just the minimum 27 batters because Allen was caught stealing to end the inning.
