Perfection, Again?

     Roy Halladay made history last night by throwing the 20th perfect game in MLB history, an accomplishment that only a few can say they did. In 2010, we have seen two perfect games in only two months! Roy Halladay always has the ability to go nine innings. In a baseball culture surrounded by pitch counts, Halladay still amazes fans and foes with his ability to go nine innings. Major League Baseball executives probably jumped for joy when Halladay finished his masterpiece.
     On May 29, 2010 Roy Halladay showcased his ability to get people out even in tough situations. His ability to get out of trouble when the count went 3-0, 3-1, and 3-2 showcases why Philadelphia traded Clif Lee for him.   As the 7th inning started nervous Phillies fans held their breathe every time Roy threw to catcher Carlos Ruiz, but Halladay painted the wide strike zone with his two-seam fastball and curveball. Florida Marlins batters complained about a wide strike zone, but the strike zone was wide throughout the game and the Marlins didn't adjust. A possible perfect game wasn't going to be denied to arguably the best pitcher in baseball. Overall, all baseball fans should excited for Halladay except if you support the Marlins or the Blue Jays.
