ESPN Classic just showed Kenny Rogers' 1994 perfect game with Texas beating the California Angels 4-0. Pudge Rodriguez, Will Clark and Jose Canseco played for the Rangers while Jim Edmonds (rookie) and Bo Jackson took the field for the Angels.
Rusty Greer made a diving catch in center to keep the perfect game intact in the 9th (a lot like Duane Wise's catch for Buerhle this week).
Anyway, my questions is...does a perfect game also count as a no-hitter? To date, I believe there have been only 18 perfect games in history. I don't know the exact number, but the total number of no-hitters is relatively small, especially in comparison to the total number of games.
I took this picture this summer at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This display has a ball to represent each no hitter in MLB history.
