If anyone was going to do it, I'm glad it was him. Fresh off that $100 million deal, they money doesn't phase him. I'm proud to have Matt Cain on the Giants.

Just one thing, wish I was there to see it live. To those who were, cherish it forever.
 
Damn I wish I was there to see it with my own two eyes. Congrats to Cain, about time things line up for him.

Different strokes for different folks. I think Chelsea looks better, but that might just be me because I'm currently on a blonde snow bunny fascination

Good read on where Cain's perfect game ranks in history:

Matt Cain’s Place in History.
Matt Cain just threw the 22nd perfect game in baseball history, which is of course an amazing accomplishment. But, through the way he dominated on the way to his perfect game, Cain actually joined an even more exclusive club – guys who have posted a Game Score above 100 in a nine inning game.

Before tonight, only nine pitchers had ever racked up a game score of 100 or better in nine innings. It was more common back when starters kept going when a game went to extras, but we want to compare apples to apples, so those are out. Sorted by Game Score — an imperfect measure, for certain, but one that does okay for this purpose — here are the 10 best nine inning performances of all time.

In terms of raw performance, this matches Sandy Koufax’s perfect game from 1965 as the best perfecto ever, and matches one of Nolan’s Ryan no-hitters where he did most of the work himself. The only nine inning game in history with a higher game score was Kerry Wood’s 20 strikeout one-hitter. It’s pretty amazing that most of us were alive to see both.

Baseball!
