Mark Buehrle throws a perfect game

Perfection. That is the only word to describe Whitesox pitcher Mark Buehrle's start Thursday against the Rays.

Buehrle hurled all nine innings perfectly leading his Whitesox team to a 5-0 victory over the defending American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays.

It was not easy though, and Buehrle had to rely on his defense to help him. Manager Ozzie Guillen called on Dewayne Wise to go in to play Center Field as a defensive replacement. He would soon be tested. The first batter to hit in the 9th inning wasted no time in testing Wise. The batter, Gabe Kapler, hit a deep fly ball to straight away center field. Wise leaped up with his glove fully extended over the wall made the play as he slammed into the wall and fell to the ground making the catch.

Wise's catch saved Buehrle's perfect game as Buehrle was able to record the final two outs easily and throw just the 18th Perfect Game in Major League Baseball history.

Shortly after arriving at his house after the game, Buehrle recieved a phone call from the most powerful Whitesox fan, President Barack Obama. The phone call lasted no more than 30 seconds but Buehrle was still honored that the President would take a few seconds out of his day to talk with him.
