The Poojer Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 check out the catch Wise made last night in the second game of the double header against the Tigers....while not as dramatic a situation.... I saw the last inning at my local cigar store. Just fantastic. Wise's catch really made it special.
Bmwolf21 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 One one I found interesting: this was the first ML no-hitter that Steve Stone has ever seen in person. Seems odd for a guy to pitch for a number of years then broadcast for nearly another 30 before seeing a no-no. More interesting stuff: Wise was on the ATL team that Randy Johnson pitched his perfect game against. Also, I posted this in the baseball forum: A little tidbit that I wonder if people know about? Buehrle's no-no back in 2007 against the Rangers was almost a perfect game... In fact he faced the minimum 27. He walked Sosa, then picked him off at first. Another intersting fact about the perfect game: the home plate umpire has been behind the dish for three no-no's, two of which were by Buehrle. Some umpires can work their entire careers and never find themselves behind the plate for a no-hitter. Eric Cooper has been the plate umpire for three of them, including two by White Sox left-hander Mark Buehrle, who pitched a perfect game Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays . . . . . . How's this for strange? Cooper has been behind the plate for each of Buehrle's last three shutouts -- the perfect game Thursday, the no-hitter April 18, 2007, at U.S. Cellular Field against the Texas Rangers and a 6-0 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 17, 2005, at the Cell. Cooper, 38, also was behind the plate for Boston Red Sox right-hander Hideo Nomo's no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles on April 6, 2001. http://bases.newsvine.com/_news/2009/07/24...od-draw-of-umps
