White Sox pitcher Phil Humber throws perfect game!

Amazing!

From the USA Today:

White Sox right-hander Phil Humber pitched the third perfect game in franchise history, mowing down the Seattle Mariners 4-0 at Safeco Field on Saturday.

It was the 20th regular-season perfect game in major league history and from a most unlikely hero: Humber had never pitched into the ninth inning in his career, let alone pitch a complete game.

His place in history was ensured only after a most perilous ninth inning.

With Humber one out away from pulling it off, pinch-hitter Brendan Ryan went to a 3-2, count, fouled off a pitch, then struck out on a checked swing that he vehemently argued. Catcher A.J. Pierzynski was forced to retrieve the ball and throw to first for the 27th out...Source
