To tie this in to our realm here.....
According to Baseball Tonight, this is the first year since 1880 that two perfect games have been pitched!!
That year, Lee Richmond and John Ward pitched perfect games within 5 days of each other (June 12th and 17th). Those were also the first two perfect games in major league history, and the only ones pitched in the 19th Century.
