O.K., I know this is off-topic and has nothing to do with Alembic, but Dallas Braden of my beloved Oakland Athletics pitched a perfect game today: 27 men up, 27 men down.  No hits, no walks, no errors,  In the entire history of baseball, this is only the 19th perfect game ever pitched.  I believe they said it works out to one perfecto per 11,000 games.  Way to go Dallas!  Whooo Hooo!
 
Bill, tgo

Incredible statistic, nice to be in that category.  Congrats to Dallas!

Way to go Dallas !!!!!!     Three cheers for Oakland !!!!!!
 
        & the Athletics_______

One of the coolest accomplishments in baseball.

Also, the fewest swings and misses in a perfect game, 5. That was mentioned during the Red Sox-Yankee game tonight.

Great stuff! I wish it had been against the Yankees, after the A-Rod flap. And I wish he was on the other side of the bay (45 year Giants fan)!

Doc Ellis is still my favorite no hitter pitcher!!!!!!!

And props in today's Doonesbury.
