A Quote to Start Things Off
We have two lives; the life we learn with and the life we live after that.”
― Bernard Malamud, The Natural
I started this blog over 6 years ago and it has taken until now to get my 100th post. I know we are smack dab in the thick of Cubs homerun hitters. However I thought this would be a good time to play footage of Paul Konerko getting a hit on Paul Konerko Bobble head day at US cellular field, I am doing the announcing and the camera work.
A baseball game can take 3-4 hours to complete. But if all you are interested is watching all the outs it can take 5-10 minutes. 3-5 minutes if you are just looking for all the outs on one side. When would you want to do that? When you want to relive a no hitter. You tube is your friend when it comes to finding those.
on April 18,2007 Mark Buehrle (see B is for Buehrle from earlier this month) pitched a no hitter for the Chicago White Sox against the Texas Ranger. This means in his 9 innings of work no one got on base with a hit. Former Sox player Sammy Sosa did get a walk and you can watch what Buerhle did to him.
A no hitter when no one gets on base for any reason is called a perfect game Buerhle got one of those also. It was 2 years later July 23, 2009 against the Tampa Bay Rays. Since it is technically a no hitter and since I am not doing P is for Perfect Game I'll show you that one as well. You'd be Wise to watch the 9th inning of this one.
