Last Sunday (Mother's Day) Dallas Braden of the Oakland A's pitched the 19th perfect game in the history of Major League Baseball. As I drove around Portland last week and heard the replayed play-by-play of the final out of Braden's outing, it came to me that I should start a blog. Somehow, Braden provided the inspiration for the start of my first daily blog based on a variety of news topics.
Now to the topic at hand. Most likely the day provided the inspiration as Braden's mother passed during his high school senior year. Whatever the motivation, the feat is incredible. Props for Braden as he joins an elite list of players to pitch a perfect game.
Finally, Braden has announced his arrival to the majors, but the journey is long, and many pitchers last until they're forty. The challenge now becomes persisting and improving to not only pitch a perfect game, but to prove that this perfect game should not be labeled a farce.
