5/18/04: Randy Johnson’s Perfect Game

Arizona Diamondbacks 2 at Atlanta Braves 0, F — The Big Unit did more than turn back the clock on his amazing career, Randy Johnson tossed a perfect game, beating the Braves, 2-0, at Turner Field and proved that this 40-year-old superstar can still dominate an opponent. The Big Unit set down all 27 Braves he faced that night in Atlanta throwing 117 pitches while striking out 13. At 40 years, 251 days he was the oldest pitcher ever to throw a perfect game. Fittingly the final out came when he blew a 98-mph fastball past pinch-hitter Eddie Perez.
