PERFECT!!!

Tonight the Yankees offense woke up as they defeated the Oakland A's 11-0.
But that's not the story here.
Yankee pitcher Domingo German who gave up 17 runs, 15 earned in his last two starts in less than 6 total innings pitched, became part of baseball history tonight by pitching a PERFECT GAME!
27 batters faced, 27 retired, with 9 strikeouts and only going to 3 balls on 2 batters, retiring both.
The game ended less than 2 minutes ago.
It was the 24th perfect game in major league history and the first since 2012.

He is now know forever in baseball history. This could be a grand thing for him, or a curse. That's baseball.

Sorry I ruined it for you.
He has shown promise before. A few years back he was putting together a Cy Young year with an 18-4 record before having his season put on hold for a domestic violence investigation. He ended up getting an 81 game suspension that ended his season and a good part of the next.

He was outstanding when he started and then after his suspension for beating his wife it was downhill. Maybe this will give him the confidence he needs to get back to what he was. Let's hope.

Such a great turn-around for him, good for him and the Yankees. Hopefully with a boost in confidence, he will show to be a consistent asset, thanks for sharing!

I'm not a baseball guy, so I don't know why it is called a "No Hitter" when some of the batters actually hit the ball and were either thrown out or the fly ball was caught.
To me, it would be more correct to call it a "No Baser" for no batter made it to a base.

An incredible feat. I remember Don Larson's.
There's a documentary out on Yogi Berra, who caught Larson's perfect game, called It Ain't Over. They said Larson didn't wave off any of Berra's calls, and suggested Berra should get a lot of credit for the perfect game.

Simple: the very definition of a baseball "hit" includes the outcome of the batter reaching first base. Been that way for how many hundreds of years?

Also, there is a difference between a no-hitter and a perfect game. There have been 319 no-hitters, which include the 24 perfect games. Ready for your pop quiz now?

I believe the attendance for this one in Oakland was only about 12,000 and a lot of them were Yankee fans. The crowd was on their feet for the entire 9th inning.

A no hitter can include batters who reached base via a walk.
In the case of a perfect game, nobody gets on base or your "no baser".
