Baseball tidbit of the day

There have been 23 perfect games in the majors all time. No pitcher has thrown more than one, but one catcher has caught two of them - ten years apart. Ron Hassey caught his first one on May 15, 1981 when Len Barker threw one in a Cleveland 3-0 win over Toronto.  His second one was on July 28 1991 when Dennis Martinez threw one in a Montreal 2-0 win over the Dodgers. Hassey and Gus Triandos are the only two catchers to have caught a no hitter in both the AL and NL. So there you go.
