Mark Buehrle what a stud pitcher. Can you imagine their pitching staff right now if they could have made that trade with SD!

the great catch by Dewayne Wise was not just a game saver, but a perfect game saver!Comment

Great job BU Rick, thanksComment

Mark Buehrle is an example of how uncertain it is to predict success in drafting baseball players.
Buehrle was drafted in the 38th round of the 1998 MLB amateur draft by the White Sox.

For several years in the 60's and 70's I was at Comiskey Park almost every Sunday the Sox were home. Only saw 1 no-hitter, by Joel Horlen in 1967. Can't imagine how it felt to be watching a perfect game. Feel kind of funny because for the last few years I always said even I could hit a foul ball off Buehrle, as he seems to just throw it up there. Really happy for him, a class act.Last edited by Chico; 07-24-2009, 11:27 PM.What part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

Chico- I have been a bit more fortunate. I have seen 2 ho-hitters in person. The first baseball game my parents ever took me to was a no-hitter thrown by White Sox pitcher Bob Keegan (8-20-57). Then a couple years later, the first Cubs game I ever attended at Wrigley Field, was a no-hitter thrown by Don Cardwell (5-15-60), who was a pitcher for the Cardinals at that time.
But I do remember the Joel Horlen no-hitter on 9-10-1967. It was my first year at Bradley, and I remember listening on the radio from my dorm on campus.
Here is a list of all the no-hitters in MLB history

I listened to the Joe Horlen no-hitter driving back to Bradley thinking to myself, why didn't I just stay home a couple extra hours so I could see it on TV. But that was a fun drive!Comment

that's really odd, Da Coach, because I was at those games, too!Comment

6/27/57 the White Sox' Billy Pierce had a perfect game through 26 batters.
Then with 2 outs in the top of the 9th at Comiskey, pinch hitter Ed Fitzgerald dropped a double 2 inches inside the line, before Pierce retired the 28th batter.
Tough break for Billy Pierce...one of the closest near misses of a perfect game...

Pretty sure I heard that game with the greatest announcer of all time, IMO, Bob Elson at the mike. No shouting just the facts. Had some great sayings. Like, It's a White Owl wallop and a box of White Owl cigars. By that time they had traded my idol. Know who it was?Originally posted by tornado View Post6/27/57 the White Sox' Billy Pierce had a perfect game through 26 batters.

SI put together a list of pitchers whom have pitched a perfect game at the mlb level. Interesting that the White Sox are involved in one way or another in three of the sixteen games.
Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™Comment

Nelie Fox, Lou Apolreseo , Jimmy Peirsall, Meni Manoso if not one of those, then it had to be the knuckleball pitcher (lost for a name but can picture him) **** itOriginally posted by Chico View Post
Sorry but that is as close to correct spelling as I can get with the names
