Perfect Games in MLB History

Sunday was a great day for Dallas Braden, pitcher of the Oakland Athletics who pitched a perfect game today against the tough Tampa Rays. This perfect game, sometimes referred to as a ‘no hitter’ because none of the batters actually made it on base, has only been accomplished 18 times prior to today.

Dallas Braden just added himself to Major League Baseball history by becoming the 19 pitcher to ever accomplish such a feat.
