PERFECT!!!!!!

Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants pitched the first perfect game in Giants history tonight! It was only the 22nd perfect game ever thrown in baseball. Not one person reached first base. We could feel the electricity of every play clear up here in Sacramento. During the last few innings each pitch was heart stopping. Matt struck out 14 of the 27 batters he faced tying Sandy Koufax for most strikeouts in a perfect game. Amazing!

As a baseball fan, and more specifically a Giant's fan, this was a moment that I'll never forget. I've always hoped to see a perfect game but never even came close....until tonight. Lou and I sat in front of the TV for over an hour after it was over listening to each player give interviews and watching every defensive play over and over. The only thing better would have been to see it in person.

Matt said he was overthrowing near the end and working to keep himself under control. Buster Posey said he's never been so nervous on a baseball field. And Brandon Belt said he thought he was going to throw up. But after 9 innings, 14 strikeouts, no hits, no walks, no errors and several great defensive plays, Matt Cain (and his teammates) did something only 21 other pitchers have ever done in baseball's 150 year history - pitch a perfect game!

Congratulations, Matt!! An incredible feat!
