Last Pitch from Every Perfect Game (MLB Broadcast) 

You're missing galarraga. I don't care what the MLB says; that was a perfect game.

I walked into a tiny bar with a buddy in Wickenburg, AZ and Randy was in the 3rd inning. We ate and had a couple drinks and it was the 6th inning and Randy was still perfect. I told my buddy we weren't going anywhere. As we watched I realized that when Randy was pitching I had been standing beside our tall bar table and I was holding the table with my left thumb and forefinger. So any time Randy came back out to the mound I got in position as well. I hope Randy appreciates how much I helped him get that perfect game that day.

It’s crazy how rare perfect games are, yet there were 2 within 3 weeks of eachother in 2010 and three in the 2012 season. They seemed so common for a short period, and then, they vanished. None in the last decade since Felix did it. And as a Mariners fan who grew up with the King as his favorite player, I can say I am proud for him to have held the distinction as the last Perfect pitcher for this long. One of the few Mariners brags I can make.

As a Tigers fan, the Galarraga “Almost Perfect Game” is one of the most devastating sports moments I’ve ever witnessed.. but playing out the way it did, it kinda took on a life of its own

Four more to consider: 1. Armando Galaraga. Robbed on the 27th out by a blown call 2. Milt Pappas. Final strike was call a ball, ended up with a no hitter 3. Pedro Martinez pitched nine perfect innings...but his team didn't score. 4. Harvey Haddux pitched 12 perfect innings, but Pirates never scored

That reaction by Felix Hernandez gives me chills every time

Nice!!! Just missing Armando Galarraga’s perfect game with 28 outs in a row

I was at the Dennis Martinez game in 1991 3:05. The usual loyal Dodger crowd sensed history and in the 8th inning they started cheering for the opposition so they could see a no hitter and then a perfect game. It was my 12 yr old daughter's first baseball game and all she had to say later was, "that was very boring."

I remember when Felix Hernandez threw his perfect game. I was with my father, and I said it was incredible that he threw a no-hitter. My father had to correct me and said, "Not a no-hitter Cassidy, a perfect game. A no-hitter means no hits, but he could still put players on base with a walk. A perfect game means no one reaches base." It's no surprise there have only been 23 (at the time of this comment) Fun Fact: two of the 23 perfect games were pitched in Seattle in 2012. #GoMariners

This just goes to show how many things have to go right for someone to throw a perfect game. These guys aren't all HOF pitchers. Couple of 'em I've never even heard of except for this. Think of how many great, great pitchers never threw a perfect game. Nolan Ryan. 7 no-hitters, none perfect. Obviously it's a major achievement for a pitcher, but it really has to be the whole team firing on all cylinders. No errors, no fielder's choice, nothing. It's a defensive win for the whole team, really. Not to mention luck. I mean, no bloop singles, no one goes yard, no little roller that the third baseman can't reach in time.... It's pretty remarkable, and it isn't just the greatest pitchers in the game that get one. I kinda like that.

I was listening on the radio, and after the 8th inning, I called my dad. "Dennis Martinez has a perfect game going into the 9th!" Even as Dodger fans, we were excited by what Martinez achieved that day. I miss going to ballgames with my dad.

Whoever called the Felix Hernandez game is a legend. His choice of words after the called strike 3 is just perfect commentary

No TV for Sandy Koufax' perfecto on my birthday, September 9, 1965, but you can relive it by listening to the absolute perfection of Vin Scully announcing the ninth inning on radio!

Good for Halladay. He was a beast with Toronto but I don't believe he ever got to post-season there, so it was great to see him do well in Philly.

The mark buehrle one was one I will never forget. The greatest final 3 outs for the perfect game

I called in my son for the end of Matt Cain's Perfecto. We watched the final inning together. He wondered why I was so excited. He didn't understand what I was excited about. I explained that it was the first ever perfect game pitched by the Giants. They played 139 seasons without one. Then he understood he had witnessed history.

I'm a die hard Braves fan and I remember watching that Randy Johnson game vs the Braves in 04 and I started cheering for him instead of Atlanta after the 6th inning.

I know it's not the same but always proud of my daughter. She had 4 perfect games in her career, up through college. Best was 56 pitch effort. One was a 20 strike out effort. Those were both in high level competition. She had a no hitter against a top team that had 5 members of the junior national team on it. Sorry just proud. Been a few years since she played so like to reminisce.

One of those that had no video was Jim Catfish Hunter's perfect game for the Oakland A's vs the Twins in 1968. My parents were going to the drive ins that night and were listening to it on the radio. When they got to the drive ins they listened to the last couple innings while the movie played before putting the speaker on their window in the car.

Here after Domingo German just threw the 24th Perfect Game in MLB history… and the first in the pitch clock era ⚾️

Rest easy, Doc. Congrats on a perfect game. Phillies baseball just isn’t the same without you.

Gallaraga definitely an obvious omission by MLB, but let’s not forget Pedro Martinez who pitched 9 perfect innings, but lost the perfect game in the 10th since his team couldn’t score a run for him. Ended winning the game in the 10th. And of course there’s Harvey Haddix who pitched TWELVE perfect innings, that’s 33% more than anyone in this video and it still wasn’t official since he ended up losing the game in the 13th. Come on MLB, let’s think of another category to recognize these incredible achievements that end up as scrap on the editing floor since by your too strict definition, because they were not “perfect”

forgot Armando Gallaraga, in 2010. I count that as a perfect game... Jim Joyce even apologized to him.

In current baseball, a perfect game requires the rarest of all things, a pitcher who can consistently throw strikes.

Back in the 90's I was visiting a friend who lived south of Boston. He took me to my first game in Fenway Park. Later, after we moved to Washington state he and his wife came out for a visit. The Mariner's weren't doing well and it was a 3 hour drive north to Seattle for a game. I laughingly told him that I would take him to a Mariner game to repay him for taking me to see the Red Sox. He laughed and kidded me about the unequal trade but then he said that he hadn't been to a game in Seattle. I got tickets and we went on a lark since I was not a Mariner fan nor was he. Fate intervened and we saw the perfect game pitched by Felix Hernandez on August 15, 2012. The trip was a fluke but we both got a thrill out of being there to see it since we were longtime baseball players.

Dewayne Wise's catch in the 9th to preserve Buehrle's perfect game is almost as legendary.

Felix merely knew it took that type of performance to get winning decisions playing for the Mariners

I love how no matter what era or year it takes place....a perfect game everyone turns into a little kid again.

"El presidente, el perfecto!" You cut out one of the great calls in baseball history!

Armando galarraga should've been able to make this video.

In 1999 I had already graduated college and was working so I had money that year to buy my dad and I two seats to the Sunday home game package. Sunday July 18, 1999 was my 22nd birthday, and at the stadium it was Yogi Berra day. The first pitch was thrown by Don Larsen and caught by Berra. Larsen shook Cone’s hand afterwards. I’ve been to World Series games and other playoff games, but never - not before or since - have I felt the same excitement as I did watching that last out. Fans were hugging and high fiving. It felt like hours before the cheering subsided. Dad has since had a stroke and I’m not sure he even recognizes me anymore. Thanks for this video. Brought a tear to my eye.

6:40 is by far the best call to end a perfect game.

Some things I noticed: Rays had 3 Perfect Games thrown against them in a span of 4 seasons. Angels and Rangers threw perfectos at each other 10 years apart, both in Texas. 1984 in old Arlington Stadium (Mike Witt) and 1994 in Rangers Ballpark (Kenny Rogers), the inaugural season for that field. Rogers' Perfect game featured a game-saving diving catch in center field by Rusty Greer in the top of the 9th.

The Dallas Braden Perfect Game will always be my favorite. Not just because I’m an A’s fan either. To do it on Mother’s Day and to celebrate it with his Grandmother that raised him… It was a very special moment. Just wish he had the beard back then…

Who's here after Domingo German's perfect game

I remember randomly catching Randy's PG - I had just gotten home from my freshman year of college. Hats off to the Atlanta fans for their genuine enthusiasm and respect.

Len Barker was a journeyman who suddenly pitched one of the greatest games of all time. Struck out 7 of the last 11 and didn’t see a three ball count the entire game

Koufax's game was interesting for two other reasons. His opponent also was perfect through 4 innings, allowed an unearned run in the 5th, and gave up his only hit in the 7th inning, and Harvey Kuenn was the final out in a Koufax no-hitter for the second time in his career.

Who's here after German's Perfect Game?

Who's here after Domingo German just threw the 24th perfect game in MLB History?

One of the most fun things about these clips is how the pitchers' teammates react. When those outfielders catch that last fly ball, they jump up like they won the World Series. You can see how happy they are for their pitcher.

As a Yankee fan I remember being 10 years old seeing David Wells pitch a perfect game on a Sunday afternoon. The next year David Cone threw one on the day Larsen threw out the first pitch to Yogi Berra. I couldn't see that game because my friend came over and we went to the pool at my apartment complex.

When Dennis Martinez came out in the bottom of the ninth, the Dodger fans gave him a standing ovation. Dennis also had a hit and suffered an injury that delayed the game for a bit. Vin Scully on the call. I'll never forget it.

Dallas Braden… on Mother’s Day in front of his grandma at the good old Coliseum.. absolutely legendary and heart warming moment 💛💚

Who's here after Domingo Germán 2023?!

And now we can add Domingo Germán to this list.

I was a 12 year old lefty Braves fan sitting at the game when Randy did it. It was nuts, every Braves fan in the stadium was rooting for him after about the 7th inning. He was one of my favorite players growing up.

Jimmy Fallon told a great story about inviting David Wells to an SNL after-party. He and Horatio Sans left at 5 AM, but Wells remained. Fallon woke up at 2 PM and turned on the Yes Network to find Wells on the mound in what turned out to be his perfect game. It's not quite Dock Ellis pitching a no-hitter on LSD, but hungover David Wells pitching a perfecto is one of the great stories in MLB history.

Here after the 24th perfect game

It's awesome to see the teammates as excited and involved as the pitchers are.

I’m a Phillies fan. Not even in the same league as the Detroit Tigers. But after Halladay’s perfecto I was itching to see another one. I was with my ex’s family watching the Phillies game that night, but we saw the perfect game watch bulletin on the bottom of the screen. Everyone, even though they were die-hard Phillies fans, asked to change the channel to MLB network to watch the last 3 outs. We immediately were treated to Jackson’s amazing catch and everyone was hooked! When we saw the replay of the play, we were absolutely FURIOUS!!! All fans of baseball, even if it wasn’t their team, were shocked and appalled by that moment!😮 Buttt….I admire both Galarraga and Jim Joyce for their extreme sportsmanship and professionalism while that happened! Truly inspirational!!!!! 😮

3:49 My best friend remembers David Wells' one like this: {in documentary voice} "On May 17th, 1998, David Wells pitched the fattest, sweatiest, most hungover perfect game in the history of baseball."

Here were the 7 that don't have any footage whatsoever: 1) Lee Richmond, 1880 2) John Montgomery Ward, 1880 3) Cy Young, 1905 4) Addie Joss, 1908 5) Charlie Robertson, 1922 6) Sandy Koufax, 1965(Only the radio call exists for that game) 7) Jim "Catfish" Hunter, 1968(Similar with Koufax, only the radio call exists)

You're missing Steve Nebraska, who quite literally threw a perfect game and in the World Series, no less! 81 pitches, 81 strikes. Perfection.

I was at the Randy Johnson perfect game. Braves fans knew we were witnessing history and cheered for him.

I was there on July 18. Don Larsen and Yogi through out the fist pitch. Bald Vinny yelled for Yogi to jump on Don Larsen. In the first inning Paul ONeil makes a sliding catch and we had the rain delay. Finally i witnessed it all of us in the bleachers hugged and celebrated!!! It was fantastic!!

I was at Philip Humber's perfect game, that was something incredible to watch!!

June 28, 2023: Domingo German joins this list!

I'm a lifelong Mets fan, but I was lucky enough to be at the Ballpark in Arlington, in 1994, for Kenny Rogers perfect game. It was the most remarkable night I've had at a baseball game. Incredible drama and atmosphere.

You’re going to have to add a new one!

Here after Domingo German just threw one

Cool. But I want to see all the perfect games spoiled in the 9th inning... with facial expressions.

Incredible pictures..... thank you for this video! I love baseball... and get goosebumps when I see this! Greetings from Germany

It's crazy what a good broadcast will do. When they call it well I get SO emotional. Announcers really are amazing at times. Man, imagine pitching a perfect game in the World Series. That's gotta be the best feeling in the world.

Who is here after Domingo Germans

The majority of these were done by the visiting team..Always better when your home crowd can take this amazing history making moments..Still pretty cool..The fans still showed love!!

thank you for compiling this, very interesting and inspiring! love these moments

The fact that made David Cone's perfect game extra special: he pitched it on Don Larson Day at Yankee Stadium. Don Larson threw the ceremonial first pitch out to Yogi Berra during the pre-game to recreate the 1956 game, then David Cone went out and threw a perfect game.

I love that three of these were against my Rays lol...

My apologies if this has been brought up already, but David Wells and Don Larsen, two Yankee pitchers who threw perfect games, went to the same high school years apart: Point Loma High in San Diego.

Ooh looking back on it that check swing call on Ryan for Humber’s game is really rough. Definitely one of those moments where the umpire isn’t going to call it any other way, even though it’s objectively the incorrect call.

You forget Galarraga. Bro has the most perfect game ever pitched. No one else has ever thrown a 28 out perfect game before.

Wow! "Mile Witt" threw a perfect game for the Angels too?? I knew Mike Witt threw one around the same time!

Saved the best for last. Still remember that day like it was yesterday. Miss you Felix!!!

Every single Perfect Game should be a Hall of Fame moment by definition.

That batter gifted Phillip Humber the perfect game haha

UPDATE TIMEEEEE😁😁

time to update.... : )

You gotta hand it to these guys. Nowadays, it would take at least four pitchers to complete a perfect game.

You can now add Domingo Gérman as the 24th perfect game.

Catcher Ron Hassey is the only Catcher in history to catch two Perfect games ..... Len Barker and Dennis Martinez

Perfect game against the 1988 Dodgers is unreal (1956 Dodgers in a world series also not too shabby).

I had met Don Larsen when I worked for the post office in Hayden Idaho back in 2012. He would come in to send off packages. He was a grumpy old man but it was pretty cool to have helped him.

Looks like your going to need to add one more after tonite.

Drew Rasmussen was just 3 outs away today so amazing

You know what’s funny, Tom Seavers almost perfect game 1969 against the Cubs in the heat of their pennant race is remembered more than most perfect games!

Still crack a smile whenever I see the clip of Hammock jumping for joy as he runs towards Johnson.

Two pitchers who had perfect games removed from being officially perfect games: Ernie Shore and Harry Haddix. Ernie Shore came in relief for the starter, who walked the first batter, argued the call and was tossed. Ernie Shore induced a double play that inning, getting 27 outs. However, because he faced only 26 batters, MLB said it was not a perfect game. The pitcher Shore replaced? Babe Ruth. Harry Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings, still a record for a single game, despite the Braves being able to steal the signs from Smoky Burgess, the Pirates catcher, and tipping off the batter from the 3rd inning on. Haddix was shutting down Hank Aaron and Eddie Matthews, both of whom who knew what pitch was being thrown. However, in the 13th, Haddix finally gave up a walk and a couple of hits and lost the game 1-0 on what ended up being an out of the park single by Aaron. What happened was, Aaron had hit what should have been an HR but one of the base runners ran off the field before touching a base, Aaron had officially passed him on the base paths and both were called out. MLB changed the rules and said since Haddix didn’t complete the game as a perfect game, let alone a no hitter, it would no longer be considered either. Before the game during warmups, Burgess said to Haddix his stuff looked really good and he had a good chance of throwing a no hitter.

“El Presidente… el perfection.”

That has to be an awesome feeling. Shame Galarraga isn't up there. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video

I watched the Bunning game on TV (lived near Philly). As I recall, it was a double header and Rick Wise won the 2nd game with a 2 hitter.

King Felix was a monster on the mount. #Respect

What, no Billy Chappel? Nice video

Thank you! What a great video. ❤️❤️❤️

Still amazed that David Wells was still drunk when he pitched that perfect game.

We need Domingo!!!

I love how 2 of them were within 20 days of each other

I love it when the away team does something amazing like throwing a perfect game and the stadium still goes absolutely nuts

Mad respect to a bunch of the hitters for not running full speed at the end so they could keep the perfect game I saw 3 or 4 where if they ran full speed they probably would have been safe by a good chunk

Add another to the list
