A Perfect Night in Atlanta
Always adept at setting records in his Major League career, Randy Johnson added something just a little extra to his impressive resume when he set down all 27 Atlanta Braves he faced on May 18, 2004, in Turner Field. At 40 years, 251 days, Randy became the oldest pitcher in baseball history to record a perfect game, overtaking Cy Young, who was 37 years, 37 days on May 5, 1904. Johnson’s amazing feat was the 15th in modern day regular season history, the 16th if you include Don Larsen’s perfect game for the Yankees in the 1956 World Series.
