Yahoo! News - Arizona Johnson Pitches 17th Perfect Game in History
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Randy Johnson pitched the 17th perfect game in major league history to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 2-0 win over the host Atlanta Braves in the National League (NL) Tuesday.

Johnson, 40, also became the oldest player to toss a perfect game. Cy Young held the previous record after achieving the feat in 1904 at the age of 37.

Five-times Cy Young Award winner Johnson retired all 27 batters he faced while striking out 13. He threw 117 pitches, a remarkable 87 for strikes.

And I was thinking at the beginning of the season Randy might be washed up. Ha! WTG guy.
