Oakland, May 10, (THAINDIAN NEWS) On Sunday not only Dallas Braden himself but also the audience watched the making of another history. Dallas Braden went on to throw a perfect game which very few of the other players have been able to do before in the baseball history. The player pitched the 19th overall perfect game in the history of National Baseball League till date. As the player made the history, his grandmother who had contributed to the success of the player immensely, cheered along with the crowd. Though the crowd consisted of around 12,228 people, the emotions ran high when the Oakland Athletics left-hander went for that amazing perfect game show against the Tampa Bay Rays team.
Along with the perfect game against Tampa Bay Rays team, the 26-year-old Dallas Braden on Sunday became the second only pitcher in the history of Oakland Athletics team history to have scored a perfect game. Jim Hunter was the last player to go for a perfect game against the Minnesota Twins on May 8, 1968. Dallas Braden was able to restrict the players of Tampa Bay Rays who could not manage any hits, walks and errors from the pitches of Dallas Braden. None of the players could reach the base, making Dallas Braden thereby a winner. He was able to set down all the 27 Tampa Bay Rays.
On Sunday, many said that Dallas Braden’s perfect pitch seemed to be a perfect answer to Alex Rodriguez who had recently said that he does not want to aggravate the feud between the two and extend the “15 minutes” of fame that Dallas Braden had achieved from it.
