Opening Day Perfection

Nice way to start the season and give the home crowd something to cheer about.

Quote:

Hollingsworth Hurls Perfect Game against Grizzlies: A perfect game!
A perfect game for Mike Hollingsworth!
No runs! No hits! No errors! And nobody left on!
The Portland hurler made league history today with a 5-0 no-hit triumph over the Denver Grizzlies at Portland Ballpark.

"I can't take all the credit," Hollingsworth told reporters after the game. "7 K's alone doesn't equal 27 outs. If the defense hadn't used the gloves we wouldn't be talking about this right now."

That might be true, but with electric stuff and pinpoint control he had the Denver batters guessing wrong all day. So it's Mike Hollingsworth who gets written into the record book for an outstanding effort in today's perfect game.

Hollingsworth:

True superstar who just proved it again? Or,
Journeyman who just had the biggest day of his life? Or,
New guy - too early to tell?

By the way, here's a nod to the guys writing the articles used in the game. They just keep getting better and better. The articles AND the guys.

That's amazing! He pitched a perfect game and his game score is only 94?

He threw 32 balls. He needs to find his location.

Great performance. Thanks for sharing the article. Oddly, when I first read the headline, I thought his name was Hollingsworth Hurls! That'd been a good one!

Good stuff.

Would have to say option 3.

Kind of neat as it's a brand new league. This is opening day of the 1st season in league history. What a way to kick it off
