Every single time I watch this... I get teary eyed... the game was beautifully done! From the low outside pitches to his inside corners to his cutter... batters ate getting getting jammed left and right, it's simply a beautiful perfect game! I also love how his team was so happy and supportive, it wasn't only Mark who did this perfect game, it was his entire #whitesox family. After all you can't play #baseball by yourself!!!! We need him back in chicago!
How I shared this on Facebook: For my White Sox friends, a day in baseball history. Almost forgotten is the miraculous catch that made the 25th out. For the record, I root for the Cubs over the Sox in head-to-head but have watched the Sox since childhood. My personal memorable moment was watching the Cubs' 2016 World Series win with my son. In my life, I've been to Wrigley about 100 times in parts of seven decades (1959-2014) ... but at least 50 Sox games. The only season tickets I had was a 19-game weekend package in 1983. I was at the 50th All Star game to see Fred Lynn's grand slam and game 3 of the 1983 playoffs against Detroit. I've collected 3 baseballs at old Comiskey and one batting practice ball in the bleachers at Wrigley. I'm a baseball fan from Chicago and will always laud the finest performances.
포틀랜드의 모텔에서 우연히 본 경기.. 6회초부터 봤는데 정말 지렸다!!! 특히나 9회 센터로 날아간 타구는 정말 99%안타였건만 교체투입된 와이즈가 아니었음 거기서 퍼픽트는 물거품이었다. 감독의 중견수 교체가 신의 선택이었다. 퍼픽트게임은 투수혼자만이 아닌 팀 전체가 만들어내는 기적임을 보여준 교과서와도 같았던 경기! 와이즈는 저 플레이 하나로 평생 손자들에게 자랑해도 좋을 에피소드를 얻었다! 😊😊😊😊
This dude straight up said “he has a perfect game going into the 9th!” Rule #1 of perfect games? Don’t talk about perfect games. Did love the “ALEXEI??? YESYESYESYES” though.
Dwayne Wise's name is rightly engraved in baseball stone because of his utterly fantastic play here. One of the greatest catches in the history of baseball. Period.
Me and my sister got free tickets to this game, had no clue about baseball (I was 10 yrs old) crowd was going insane and we had no idea why! Molded me into the Sox’s fan I am today!
When i was playing small college ball; the week before this game was the last week of two a days.So when i got out of practice I went back to my dorm and saw on ESPN what was happening. I got onto a bootleg site on computer from the art department to watch the final two innings. I got academic suspension for causing possible harm to the school network and violating copyright laws. I told them that I wanted to watch what all of Chicago is watching from Iowa. Would do the same thing 1000 times over.
I wont forget this game ever. I had tickets to this game. I got offer OT at work. So I sold the tickets. I regret it till this day. All for a extra 100 bucks on my check.
As a child, my father would take me to White Sox games at old Comiskey park. When he obtained Bears season tickets, he would provide one game per season to me to take a guest. When the Bears played the Giants in the playoffs in 1986 (first home playoff game in 22 years), he took my brothers and I. It was such a pleasure paying him back for all those past experiences when I took him and my mom to a Sox game on July 23, 2009. Thanks, dad.
Buerhle really threw this perfect game throwing 88 mph fastballs and nasty breaking stuff. Command is more important than Velo. Also, hope buerhle took Dwayne wise out for a nice steak dinner!
Theres always one play that defines a game like this. That Wise catch.... it was meant to be. Just like Austin Jackson making a huge catch for Armando Galaragga in the 9th before his perfect game......was ruined by a bad call.
TheFancyMentlegen To be fair, Buehrle commented during his previous no hitter in 2007 that he was not superstitious and will loudly talk about it in the dugout during the game when he has one.
Dwyane Wise's catch is the greatest home run rob in the history of the MLB. Like Hawk said, "Under the circumstances one of the greatest catches." Couldn't agree more. And as for Mark, it will never matter what team he's with, he will always be a White Sock forever.
Mark Buehrle's perfect game: Rays Dallas Braden's perfect game: Rays Felix Hernandez's perfect game: Rays 3 of the last 6 perfect games have been against the Rays.
I was 13 years old and I remember that my dad somewhat offhandedly and at the last-minute said to my sister & I "hey, it's a beautiful day, let's go to a Sox game today!". We ended up going with my aunt and two cousins and in about the fourth or fifth inning I remember my dad leaning to my aunt and saying "hey Buehrle's got a no-hitter going here...". By the ninth we were all at the edge of our seats and when Wise made that catch at the wall, I don't think any of us had ever jumped higher out of our seats at a ballgame. Almost ten years later, I sometimes still cannot believe that I was actually at this game. I'm almost certain it will remain my favorite day at the park for the rest of my life.
+Jay W I'm a Cubs fan and even I LIKE Hawk Harrelson. His unabashed and unashamed bias towards his home team is refreshing and I, personally, like it. Other regional sports announcers today are frowned upon by their superiors for bias towards the team they're covering, and it's a shame.

+Brian Owens Very good point. In Germany, we don't have this system of regional announcers. If, for example, FC Bayern plays Hamburger SV in the league, cup or anywhere else you'll have a neutral announcer provided by the TV station. Buck Martinez is also biased towards the Jays and many say he's unprofessional, but I love him. Same with Harrelson.
+Jay W I'm a Cubs fan and he's not the issue I have with the Sox. He's enthusiastic for his team which is fine, but he also acknowledges the other team's good players and when they've made good plays.
Interesting fact: While making that catch, Wise crashed into a picture of Billy Pierce on the wall. Pierce lost a perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th inning in 1958.
Patrick Pavone Hard to beat games 2 and 4 of the '05 WS and game 7 of the '16 WS, but I feel ya. I watched the whole game live, my dumbass should went to the game tho...
illiniguy34 My sister and her friend got free tickets at a bar the night before because the guy had to work. Her friend had to work too so I ended up going. Best luck ever.
+Aggressive Attitude Era Dude, Hawk has got to be the single worst announcer in the history of sports. And that does include Tim McCarver and Joe Buck.
Mark Buehrle is my all-time favorite White Sox pitcher! He never had a cannon of an arm, but he was smart and athletic. One of only six pitchers in MLB history to pitch a perfect game AND a no-hitter! #56 is #1!
Mark Buehrle is one of my favorite White Sox, too, Roger. I think what does it for me is how well he fielded his position. Over the course of his tenure with my South Siders he made some amazing fielding plays. Of course I will remember forever that perfect game. It happened to fall on the day of my father's funeral. My dad was the reason I was a Sox fan. I recorded games I knew I couldn't watch back then. And when I watched Buehrle spin his masterpiece it was with a few tears in my eyes because the old man wasn't there to watch it with me.
Crazy thing is that he pitched 5.2 innings of perfect baseball his next time out, too. He actually set the record of most batters consecutively retired by a pitcher. I loved Buehrle as a pitcher. Dude worked fast, stayed in the zone and was a workhorse. When you pitch 14 consecutive seasons of over 200 IP, you're doing something right. Legend!
You're absolutely right, jonferris24. Buehrle was something else. Even at my advanced age, I don't think I've ever seen a pitcher who threw so many ground ball outs. (He only had six K's in this game!)
I will always remember this day for the rest of my life. I was volunteering at a summer camp that day so they obviously didn't have cable or even the radio surprisingly. My mom called me after the top of the eighth and told me what was happening....so without telling anyone, I got in my car and went home. The first thing I see is that ball in the top of the ninth and immediately thought to myself that it was instant karma for just leaving haha. What a finish though. I'll always appreciate what Buehrle did for this city and for this team. A perfect game, a no hitter, hit a home run, and then the World Series. So glad I got to witness it all.
I don’t hate on Hawk, he must be a blast for local fan base. It’s the same way for the Celtics and Tommy on NBC sports Boston. So I can definitely respect Hawk lol I know us Boston fans love Tommy
This is not a highlight package. This is actually how fast Mark Buehrle worked....
I love how everyone is hating on Hawk. The guy is passionate for his White Sox. His catchphrases are entertaining. MERCY! HE GONE!
***** A catchphrase can be annoying. The he gone is not only annoying but pretty unprofessional. Just my opinion of course
+Adam Kowalski pashion ok... being an annoying announcer... not ok
Dan Gallagher Gay slur in 2016? Nice one old timer
Ride my rodney, Homer Sexshul.
I know, right?
"What a play by Wise! Mercy!"
Holy shit. I remembered Dewayne Wise's catch was at the wall, but didn't know it was a HR robber too
When Jordan Zimmerman threw his no-hitter, Steven Souza, Jr. made a great catch. But this one was better.
Hawk Harrelson!! Gotta be a TRUE Chicagoan to understand him!
...and a true White Sox/baseball fan to hate him lol
Imagine Mark blew it after Dewayne's catch. I personally consider that catch to be the greatest catch I've ever seen.
The catch by Wise was just outstanding.
the 8 dislikes is from 8/9 of the starting lineup that day, the ninth starter doesn't have a UA-cam account
Haha lol
LOL!!!!
Bryan D. ...looks like he opened up an account
Funnt bc its 9 now lmao
Add the opposing pitcher to that dislike count
Gotta love Mark Buehrle
brendarooo she gone!
Mark Buehrle has gotta love Dwayne Wise. Damn , that was too close.
Hawk made this perfect game even more special
Every single time I watch this... I get teary eyed... the game was beautifully done! From the low outside pitches to his inside corners to his cutter... batters ate getting getting jammed left and right, it's simply a beautiful perfect game! I also love how his team was so happy and supportive, it wasn't only Mark who did this perfect game, it was his entire #whitesox family. After all you can't play #baseball by yourself!!!! We need him back in chicago!
A girl that follows baseball? Awesome!
"If they do their individual thing, then it works out collectively"
good observation hawk
Ryan Ferretti This is true, but the issues are really caused by capitalism.
+Logan Ausherman the issues are caused by hanging curves and letter-high fastballs, I believe.
That play by Wise was unreal

i watch this everyday
Favorite perfect game
same! ive watched this clip so many times
This dude straight up said “he has a perfect game going into the 9th!” Rule #1 of perfect games? Don’t talk about perfect games. Did love the “ALEXEI??? YESYESYESYES” though.
Call your sons, call your daughters, call your friends, call your neighbours...
Wise's catch spooked me for a moment.
this may be my favorite perfect game to watch, the catch in the 9th and the announcer losing his shit are awesome
dewayne wise's catch was amazing
The 14 dislikes are from the rays lineup and 5 of the coaches who have accounts.
I remember his game like it was yesterday. That Wise catch is likely the best play I will ever see. (This is coming from a Cubs fan)
Dwayne Wise's name is rightly engraved in baseball stone because of his utterly fantastic play here. One of the greatest catches in the history of baseball. Period.
Me and my sister got free tickets to this game, had no clue about baseball (I was 10 yrs old) crowd was going insane and we had no idea why! Molded me into the Sox’s fan I am today!
YES! YES! YES! YES!
HISTORY
Dame Mr Wise....... what a catch....DAME
The Rays always getting no hit or get perfect games thrown against them lolol
They have been a pretty good team in the last 7 years, just unlucky I guess.
+Dillon Toole Which is ironic because from 2007-2011 they were always in the top 10 in OBP. No reason for them to get no hit
And how many times have the Rays been no hit? Like 20.
The Devil Rays were no-hit once. Since the name change in 2009, the Tampa Bay Rays have been no-hit four times, three of them being perfect games.
That might be wrong, but I read it on BleacherReport.
When i was playing small college ball; the week before this game was the last week of two a days.So when i got out of practice I went back to my dorm and saw on ESPN what was happening. I got onto a bootleg site on computer from the art department to watch the final two innings. I got academic suspension for causing possible harm to the school network and violating copyright laws. I told them that I wanted to watch what all of Chicago is watching from Iowa. Would do the same thing 1000 times over.
Also: Finding streaming sites was a CAN OF CORN back then
Was at the game on the third base line...def one of the coolest experiences of my life...ironically im a cub fan lol
People forget his next start he pitched 6 perfect innings against the Yankees. At that time the longest consecutive perfect innings pitched.
And most people forget that in Buehrle's next start, he was perfect through 6.
I was at Wells and North Avenue, the president drove by and this happened. Cool!
lol wise was so surprised he caught that ball he had to check his mitt while he was falling down
I remember the next day they made an outline of wise's catch on the outfield wall
The love of baseball
That Wise catch has to be the greatest catch, given the circumstances, in the history of baseball -Red Sox fan
I wont forget this game ever. I had tickets to this game. I got offer OT at work. So I sold the tickets. I regret it till this day. All for a extra 100 bucks on my check.
If you're Dwayne Wise, one play can make a career. What a play!
Player of the Game: Dewayne Wise
got to love hawk
I still wanna know why wise bobbled the ball 😂it looked like it was on purpose
MERCY
Buerhles reaction to that catch, "lolz"
I was at this game when I was like 5 and I didn't understand what was going on lmao
wweguy007 same I was at camp it was a field trip
Alexi……YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! History!
4:06 gotta love it
There were so many 3 ball counts wow
My dad went to this game and I am jealous out of my mind
As a child, my father would take me to White Sox games at old Comiskey park. When he obtained Bears season tickets, he would provide one game per season to me to take a guest. When the Bears played the Giants in the playoffs in 1986 (first home playoff game in 22 years), he took my brothers and I.
It was such a pleasure paying him back for all those past experiences when I took him and my mom to a Sox game on July 23, 2009. Thanks, dad.
nice👍
Great story. 👍 ☺
Hell Yessssss
What do you mean the only reason? The sox are playing amazing right now
Let’s break down the 27 outs
11 Groundouts (Nix, Buehrle 2, Ramirez 5, Fields, Beckham 2)
6 Fly-outs (Dye 2, Quentin 3, Wise)
6 Strikeouts
2 Foul-outs (Fields, Beckham)
2 Line-outs (Ramirez, Beckham)
MIA: Poseidnik
Posednik WOULD have been in CF for "The Catch" but he was moved to RF for Quentin and Wise went into CF - the rest is history.
Buerhle really threw this perfect game throwing 88 mph fastballs and nasty breaking stuff. Command is more important than Velo. Also, hope buerhle took Dwayne wise out for a nice steak dinner!
Marks my teachers cousin and I got an autograph from him
Theres always one play that defines a game like this. That Wise catch.... it was meant to be. Just like Austin Jackson making a huge catch for Armando Galaragga in the 9th before his perfect game......was ruined by a bad call.
Damn the rays got perfected 3 times in 4 years
Second deck to the left of home plate
My favorite part is that the second baseman didn't do anything this entire game
i was there
I was there
I go to school with Mark Buehrle's niece. Be jealous.
I am.
He gone!
또다른 벌괴 벌리성님 ㄷㄷ
9 people who dont like must have been Tampa fans :)
Hawk was suupped. He Gone!!
4:20 he robbed him of a certain double maybe a home run wow
Mark buehrle had defensive pitbulls at his side that day,
me too
God dammit, Hawk, even though Buehrle did get the perfect, you don't SPEAK about the perfect game until he actually does it.
TheFancyMentlegen To be fair, Buehrle commented during his previous no hitter in 2007 that he was not superstitious and will loudly talk about it in the dugout during the game when he has one.
All downhill for kapler after he got robbed by wise
Dwyane Wise's catch is the greatest home run rob in the history of the MLB. Like Hawk said, "Under the circumstances one of the greatest catches." Couldn't agree more. And as for Mark, it will never matter what team he's with, he will always be a White Sock forever.
You also have to consider Endy Chavez's in the playoffs that save the game a couple of years ago
Kyle Sandberg Yeah but they still lost. Wise's catch saved the eventual perfect game.
Wise had just been put into the game, too, specifically to play center field.
Wise saved his perfect game
HabsFanMTL88 It doesn’t matter the circumstances. Chavez’s catch was simply better than Wise’s even if Wise’s was a more important catch.
Mark Buehrle's perfect game: Rays
Dallas Braden's perfect game: Rays
Felix Hernandez's perfect game: Rays
3 of the last 6 perfect games have been against the Rays.
All roughly the same team too
Zobrist, Upton, Longo, and Peña were literally at all three of those XD
I guess the rays passed the curse onto Seattle this year lmao
And the moral is ?
D-Rays haven't been no hit since.
I was 13 years old and I remember that my dad somewhat offhandedly and at the last-minute said to my sister & I "hey, it's a beautiful day, let's go to a Sox game today!". We ended up going with my aunt and two cousins and in about the fourth or fifth inning I remember my dad leaning to my aunt and saying "hey Buehrle's got a no-hitter going here...".

Daniel, thanks for sharing your great memory. I'm not jealous of you at all. Nope, not me. Seriously, Dan, good for you and good for your dad.
That's a great story! 👍
Great story buddy.
Wow❤❤❤❤❤ really envy you. It will be lifetime memory.
Lucky. I was at the Dylan cease game where he took a no-no into the ninth
Everyone's hating on the Sox announcer. I personally love the "he gone" bit he says after a K.
-pirates fan

Important note... Ozzie brought Wise in for his defense in the ninth inning. Paid off HUGE!
I hope Buehrle took Dwayne Wise out for dinner after this lol
Alexeiiiiiiii!!!!
YEAS!! YEAS!! YEAS!! YEAS!! HISTOREYY!
OttoDaLottoMan I like how Stan Verrett from ESPN says, or at least said that.
DMG Extra An perfect game from Mark Buehrle!
Interesting fact: While making that catch, Wise crashed into a picture of Billy Pierce on the wall. Pierce lost a perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th inning in 1958.
WOW
as a cub fan I must say its the best single moment in the history of Chicago baseball. Hawks call was the stuff of legends.
I thought it was the Bartman incident :p
Thank you that means a lot coming from a rival Cubbie fan and lol Julian you sav
Patrick Pavone Hard to beat games 2 and 4 of the '05 WS and game 7 of the '16 WS, but I feel ya. I watched the whole game live, my dumbass should went to the game tho...
Sox fan here. Game 7 ‘16, then 05, then this in my opinion
It truly is! He was a true heart and soul of baseball!! A white Sox legend for sure!
There's always 1 great catch in a perfect game ex. Wise robbing a HR, Blanco diving catch, Jackson running catch.
MrHaroldG2000 or mickey mantles catch in the 56 world series
Believe it or not, I was at this game. It was simply amazing.
illiniguy34 My sister and her friend got free tickets at a bar the night before because the guy had to work. Her friend had to work too so I ended up going. Best luck ever.
+illiniguy34 Awesome that you not only got to see this as live, you were spared the agony of listening to these two.
+TPTGopher Stop it. Hawk and Stony are cooler than cool.
+Aggressive Attitude Era Dude, Hawk has got to be the single worst announcer in the history of sports. And that does include Tim McCarver and Joe Buck.
David Bluhm We'll have to agree to disagree.

Don't forget he won the gold glove also
💯🎯
I will always remember this day for the rest of my life. I was volunteering at a summer camp that day so they obviously didn't have cable or even the radio surprisingly.

Thanks for putting this together! With my Sox struggling right now, this put a huge smile on my face!
"He gone!"
YES! YES! YES!
Cant think of a better home-er to call a perfect game than Hawk Harrelson...😊
I'll never forget watching this game and hearing "HE GONE ONE TO GO!!!"
Hawk harrelson is truly one of the best
Happy 41st Birthday Buehrle
I don’t hate on Hawk, he must be a blast for local fan base. It’s the same way for the Celtics and Tommy on NBC sports Boston. So I can definitely respect Hawk lol I know us Boston fans love Tommy
Most mlb fans wouldn’t understand HAWK! True legend
The picks by the third baseman.. don't forget those. Those were no easy plays.
