How about some love for King Felix?

A Perfecto today versus the Rays. Felix Hernandez is a GREAT pitcher.

in the 7th inning now.....the commentators are beginning to get excited.

His pitches are just downright nasty....20 up and 20 down now.

A joy to watch!

looked it up.....Rays had perfect games thrown against them in '81, 2009, 2010 and now again in 2012.

I think it's astonishing that only 23 perfect games have ever been pitched
......out of approximately 390,000 games played.
