Before Mark Buerhle tossed in a perfect game against the Rays, there has only been one White Sox pitcher that had done it and since that, Halley's comet dropped by our planet just twice. So why the mention of the comet? Well actually, when I think of rare-Halley's C is the second thing that comes to mind being big-peckered Japs the first which doesn't sit well with the subject this time.
Buerhle threw 116 pitches and struck out 6 Rays but no story of his triumph will be complete without a mention of outfielder teammate Dewayne Wise's 9th inning home run robbery at the expense of Ray's Gabe Kapler who seemed to be on his way to spoil a presidential congratulatory phone call for Buerhle.
This was the first perfect game thrown since Randy Johnson zeroed the Braves in 2004. Mark Buerhle joined the Big Unit as the only active pitchers who has a no-hitter and perfect game in their resumes. [VIDEO of the Buerhle's 9th inning ]
