Felix Hernandez pitched the 23rd perfect game in baseball history. It was the 21st of the modern era (post-1900), and the third of the 2012 season. Read that last sentence again ... this just doesn’t make sense. It’s an every-two-month thing now.

Armando Galarraga lost his perfect game on a blown call at first base, and then he retired the next hitter. Two pitchers -- Harvey Haddix and Pedro Martinez -- were perfect through nine innings (with Haddix perfect through 12) before losing the perfect game and the game in extra innings.
