The Perfect Unit

I completely missed it (and probably would’ve jinxed him), but last night Randy Johnson pitched baseball’s 17th perfect game- becoming, at 40, the oldest pitcher ever to do so.

Perfect games are a lot more rare in baseball than bowling, of course; in those weird Nike commercials with the athletes playing other sports, did Johnson ever even bowl a perfect game?

The best part, of course, was seeing the vile Atlanta Braves utterly humiliated, being unable to get a single baserunner –at home- against a 40-year-old pitcher.
