To tie this in to our realm here.....
According to Baseball Tonight, this is the first year since 1880 that two perfect games have been pitched!! That year, Lee Richmond and John Ward pitched perfect games within 5 days of each other (June 12th and 17th). Those were also the first two perfect games in major league history, and the only ones pitched in the 19th Century. Steve Last edited by Steve D; 05-30-2010 at 01:08 AM.

As a Jays fan, i was sad to see Doc go to the Phillies, but congrats to him, he showed why he is without a doubt the best picture in the league! Glad i bought a bunch of his Rc's about 6 or 7 years ago.

I edited the title to update this thread. Two perfect games in one season. That hasn't happened since 1880:
Lee Richmond June 12, 1880 John Ward June 17, 1880 I just saw that Steve D. beat me to this. Last edited by barrysloate; 05-30-2010 at 06:10 AM.

I just want to tip my cap to Halladay. He's been my favorite non-Yankee pitcher for a while. I have so much respect for him. I'd have to say he's the top pitcher in the game.
He really is a throwback player. He throws complete games left and right. Congrats to him. The only time I'll root against him is if the Yanks have a World Series Rematch this year! It's tough for Blue Jays Fans but I think being on a really good team will help turn peoples' heads on how good this guy really is.... What a crazy day yesterday with Kendry Morales's Walk-Off Grand Slam injury, possibly a season-ender.....

perfection
As a position player collector (pitchers) it's always great to be able to buy one or two new players while trying to complete the pre-war part also. So far this year had to pickup Jimenez and Braden (already had Halladay, 20 game winner and Cy Young award), and those two cards only cost me $2
 Now if I could just get two E107's I need for that... It does seem strange to have 3 nono's this season... maybe the hitters are finally off the juice

What is more rare - 2 perfect games in one month or hitting a walk-off grand slam and breaking your leg on the same play? LOL
