PITTSBURGH — There are very few times a "no-hitter" or "perfect game" alert comes across my Twitter timeline that it catches my attention. And it isn't because I don't like to view history; it is because they often start showing up when a pitcher is in the 5th or 6th inning and there is a long way to go to finish the game.
Thursday was different, though, as the word started to get out that Jameson Taillon was pitching a perfect game for the Yankees.
That one, yeah, that made me pause and find the game on the TV, and frankly, I have never rooted harder for a guy to finish the job. I was in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium (the original one) when David Wells threw his perfect game in 1998, so I actually could share in and feel the energy in the crowd from where I was sitting watching this game.
