Eclipsing Sen. Bunning, ROY HALLIDAY PITCHES PERFECT GAME FOR THE PHILLIES!!!!

[PCIntern]

I know this is gonna get bumped but...

only the 20th ever pitched in the Majors....

Bunning pitched his in 1964 on father's Day, rick wise pitched the second game of the doubleheader making his ML debut at 19, then went on some years later to pitch the NEXT Phillie No-hitter.

1. Congrats to Halliday!

What every pitcher dreams of, and he's done it. He's quite the talent.

[Captain Hilts]

2. Okay, NOW I'm REALLY excited about it!

3. Was thinking of you while listening to the game...

and following it on mlb.com.

I knew this could be a special night around the 4th inning. It was one of those nights where Doc just gets into the zone.

Cliff Lee who?

6. Good for Halliday! I hope Bunning is watching!

First he gets booted out by his boss in the Senate & now he gets one upped by another young guy. It's over Jim. Go and quietly retire!

15. How did he get "one upped" since they both pitched perfect games? n/t

[Renew Deal]

7. This shouldn't have been moved.

It's bigger than sports.

[trumad]

11. It is?

[malaise]

8. Well this will send Bunning

over the edge and he's been hanging there for years

[SpiralHawk]

12. The Bunster and his Foul Republicon Balls went over the edge before the TeaBaggers

gave a whole new level of Family Pharisee Values meaning to the, ah, term.

9. Another one???

Wow! Good for Halliday!

[Onceuponalife]

13. The Phils must be real glad they let Cliff Lee go...

"MISS ME YET?"

14. Which game is more perfect--striking out 27 betters in a row

or retiring them?
