A Quick Update

Philip Humber of the White Sox, since throwing the 21st perfect game in MLB history on April 21st:

10 starts, 53 innings, 7.47 ERA.

Where does Philip Humber's perfect game rank among the game's all-time flukes? Very highly, I would say.

Philip Humber Achieves Perfection

There have only been 20 perfect games in MLB regular season history. Philip Humber just threw the 21st, after getting Brendan Ryan to "swing" (there's no way he went around) at a 3-2 pitch. He achieved the feat against (who else?) the Mariners. The cool thing about baseball is that if one were to list the active pitchers most likely to throw a perfect game, Philip Humber wouldn't make anyone's top...30? 40? Maybe 50? And he now joins luminaries like Sandy Koufax, Randy Johnson, and Cy Young. Congratulations to Humber.
