Halladay is the first pitcher to throw a perfect game and a no-hitter in the same season. And he just missed a second perfect game.
There were no hard hit balls at all, and it may have been the most dominating game I have ever seen a pitcher pitch. The only tough out was the final one, and the ball traveled maybe five feet. But if you look at the replay the ball and the bat were resting against each other, and the catcher could easily have gotten tangled up and botched the play. But he kept his composure and made it. A remarkable performance.
