- What's the quickest/easiest way to find out how many catches were made in the game? -- nm - Max Jul 23, 13:31 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Maybe he wants the pitch count, assuming all pitches were caught. -- nm - mara Jul 23, 13:35 1
      - I've never liked the term "perfect" game because there's a big difference (to me) between 27 strikes and 27 catches in deep center field. -- nm - Max Jul 23, 13:37
- that makes 2 no no's in the last 3 years for him. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 13:15 14
  - When I saw it, I was like, "Didn't he pitch the last no-hitter?" -- nm - nubby (Buehrle!!!) Jul 23, 13:17 6

- Awesome. How many have there been in history? -- nm - Inigo Jul 23, 13:12 45
  - 16 -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 13:12 44
    - wiki says 18 -- (link) - zork Jul 23, 13:15 16
      - espn said 16 for modern baseball history. - Diva Jul 23, 13:16
      - 16 modern era, 2 from the 1800's. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 13:15 14
        
        and? -- nm - zork Jul 23, 13:16 13
        
        the first 2 don't really count because they played under different rules then, -- nm - znufrii Jul 23, 13:19 9
        
        they changed rules on Jan. 1, 1900? -- nm - zork Jul 23, 13:21 8
        
        "During baseball's "modern era", defined by Major League Baseball as beginning in 1900, sixteen more pitchers have thrown perfect games." - TFox Jul 23, 13:24 5
        
        he's questioning why we'd draw the line there. - Reagen Jul 23, 13:27 2
        
        "In 1884, overhand pitching was legalized." That would be one reason why a perfect game in 1880 would be a little different. - TFox Jul 23, 13:29 1
        
        In 1887, they outlawed punching the batter in the face. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 13:32
        
        maybe 18 prefect games by 16 different pitchers? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 13:25 1
        
        18 games, 18 pitchers, but 2 of them were in 1880. MLB refers to that as "prior to the modern era of baseball", which begins in 1900. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 13:26
        
        1900 was the founding of the American League. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 13:23
        
        1893, if you want to get picky. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 23, 13:22
        
        and.... that.... is where the number came from. - TFox Jul 23, 13:16 2
        
        i don't get why those two need to be separated. should we be separating numbers from the 2000's too? -- nm - zork Jul 23, 13:19 1
        
        I think they will eventually, pre and post drug era -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 23, 13:39
    - Of course, you would know. :P -- nm - Inigo Jul 23, 13:13 5
      - See? SEE??? -- nm - David Jul 23, 13:14 4
        
        It's like marrying the ultimate trivia database. -- nm - Inigo Jul 23, 13:15 3
        
        i think she was just watching espn -- nm - zork Jul 23, 13:18 2
        
        Actually I remembered that from Lincecum's recent outing where he flirted with a perfect game, then a no-no. - Diva Jul 23, 13:25 1
        
        Yeah, Zork! -- nm - David Jul 23, 13:25

        Comments like this are why some people call you a jerkface. -- nm - loosilu Jul 23, 13:18 3

        I still don't know who did it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 23, 13:19 2
        
        You didn't ask who, you asked what. -- nm - mara Jul 23, 13:34
        
        if you don't know what it is, why does it matter *who*? -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 13:28
        
        no hits, no runs, no walks, no baserunners, no errors. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 13:15 4
