Mr. Perfect: Dallas Braden




Simply awesome.

The Rays just can't catch a break. Last year it was Buehrle throwing the perfect game. This year Dallas Braden.

Congrats to Dallas Braden on throwing the 19th perfect game in MLB history. It could not have happened to a better guy, and to use the words of Dallas Braden's grandmother, "Stick it, A-Rod." A-Rod has responded to Braden's perfect game by saying, "Good for him, he threw a perfect game. And better yet, he beat the Rays." How arrogant is that???? Good grief he is full of himself, though I am pretty sure we all knew that.

Enough of that and more on celebrating the accomplishments of Dallas Braden who has now done something that only 18 other pitchers have done, and that is throw a perfect game. Him hugging his grandmother at the end (pictured above) on Mother's Day no less is one of the best moments you will see in any sporting event, especially when you consider he lost his mother to breast cancer when he was but a senior high school. Simply amazing.

Seeing as the YouTube video will disappear shortly, click here to watch the final out on MLB.com
