A Perfect Game is really a team effort

Mark Buerhle threw MLB's 18 perfect game in league history yesterday and he will get the accolades for the rest of his life for throwing it. My question is did he "throw" a perfect game and pitch in one. I say pitch in one. His game is probably the best example of how the pitchers get too much credit in perfect games and no hitters.

In every no hitter or perfect game there are always a string of incredible defensive high-lights that somehow are erased from memory as time goes on. Its like that fish you caught 5 summers ago. It has now reached mythic size and it surely could have been the state record if you didn't show your love for the fish and practice catch and release.

Take a look at this play:


ENOUGH SAID?
