David Cone’s perfect game

This is all 27 outs (in five minutes) from David Cone’s perfect game in 1999.
The New York Yankees won the game against the Montreal Expos, 6-0. No batter reached first base for the Expos.
(This was the sixteenth perfect game in Major League Baseball history.)





A starting pitcher usually leaves the game after five to seven innings. After a game, the starter must rest his arm a few days. Every team in the major leagues has about twelve pitchers in their 25-man roster. At least five of them are starters (a five-man starting rotation - they play about six games every week; 162 games/season).
A pitcher should never throw more than 120 pitches in a game, to not risk getting injured.


If you liked this video, just look for "perfect game all 27 outs MLB" at Youtube.com, and you will find a few other five-minute videos from MLB.
There, you can also find a video with Randy Johnson's 20 strikeouts in a game, from year 2000. (Johnson could throw 100-mph [160 km/h] fastballs, along with a very hard slider.)
