Domingo German wrote his name in MLB and New York Yankees history books after throwing the perfect game on Wednesday against Oakland Athletics.
German, who was handed a ten-game suspension for violating the league's new policies on grip-enhancing substances last month, threw the 24th-ever perfect game in MLB history, retiring every Oakland batter in an 11-0 Yankees blowout victory. It has been a rollercoaster year after German's hefty punishment but he complete an incredible turnaround with a stunning performance.
The last MLB pitcher to achieve such a feat was Felix Hernandez 11 years ago for the Seattle Mariners against the Tampa Bay Rays. He was one of three to throw a perfect game that year, but the wait for another has now finally been ended by German.
