Teared up when Braden hugged his grandmother and she was crying. His mom died of cancer his senior year of high school.
My aunt Joan died this mothers day. It was an upsetting time for all of us.
I'm sure his mom is very proud.
+Nate Schwartz aw im so sorry
+Zachary Tedesco erm. not sure if you know...she's not alive anymore.
Lost my mom last October to cancer and going back to this highlight of a perfect game on mother's day made me tear up and think of my mom as well. She truly was special.
It's always so funny to see them discuss the pitcher before the game. A standard practice, and no one has any idea what he's about to accomplish.
lukerbom12 facts
*Yup, just another game. Oh boy, just wait and see...*
About his pick off move which he didnt need to use.
MANCHESTER UNITED Who asked?
@MANCHESTER UNITED 1. Who asked? 2. It most certainly is not the most important sport. It's actually garbage.
wow. this was a great team defense game. it wasnt just Braden. it took everybody. perfect game with only 6 K's.
yea true
D Mac I understand I'm late, but Armondo Galleraga(the guy that got his perfect game blown by a bad call) had an unofficial one(because of the blown call) with only 3 strikeouts.
You're describing almost every perfecto
D Mac most complete games don't have tons of strikeouts. Why? Because strikeouts require more pitches than a pop up or a fly out.
MANCHESTER UNITED omg stop spamming this everywhere
Kouzmanoff,
You the real MVP.
Saiam Seifi braden owes him for that first play lol
Random fact: Kouzmanoff was the first player to hit a grand slam in his first career at-bat on the first pitch.
The first play and that slow dribbler too
Saiam I
That’s what I was thinking he made some good defensive plays
This has to be one of the best moments in MLB history. The fact that he did it on Mother’s Day and his grandmother was there at the end to hug him is priceless.
This guy only pitched in the majors for 4 years, has a win-loss record below .500, and an era over 4.0, and yet he accomplished something that many of the very best haven't. That's wild to me.
@Bread And Circuses must be what you take before commenting

Perfect on a perfect day. THIS is what pitching is all about. And the defense (especially Kouzmanoff) was outstanding.
Watching these highlights today. Kouzmanoff what a performance in the field!
Ya, 3th bsae man is the best player of the day.
Looking back on this is crazy as a Bay Area sports fan. Dallas Braden is now a podcast host and does color for the A’s with Kuip who called this game, and Gabe Kapler was the last out and is now the Giants manager. Time flies.
The thing that makes this so special is that it was on Mother's Day and his mother had recently passed away from cancer... That's why he was so emotional!!
His mother actually died about 10 years prior but I bet he was still very emotional thinking about his mother. His grandmother had raised him since high school.
payback then
06:53 Hey that's my dad yelling over the crowed explaining to me what just happened because I didn't know anything about baseball lol
lol I saw that and I was like, that's some dude explaining the significance of the achievement to his fam. I can relate.
Tears in my eyes seeing the hug from his grandmother
What's weird is... a perfect game is REALLY RARE... and I saw 2 of them at Safeco Field.
And I've only been to 6 MLB games in my life.
A statistician should figure the odds of only going to 6 games ever and seeing 2 perfect games. Then factor in at same stadium. Then factor in both in same year.
Wow!
I saw the same comment on felixs perfect game
Dylan_Bosch Yup... notice who made it.
There have been over 200,000 total regular season games in Major League Baseball, and only 23 have been perfect (should be 24). I don't know where to go from there.
TacomaPaul buy some lottery tickets
It's crazy how close this was to never happening on just the first batter of the game
Foul ball lmao
No-hitter in front of his grandma who helped raise him for his hometown team on Mother's Day? Doesn't get better than that.
It actually does, throwing a perfect game
Lmao
It a perfect game and Oakland was not his hometown it was Stockton and why his grandma is so emotional is because his mother passed away when he was in high school
the craziest part is he was apparently hungover and barely even made it to the stadium in time for the game lmao
People quick say who this guy or crowd was weak blah blah, y'all forgetting the fact that this man who came from the slums of stockton California and did his work from the ports to the majors and pitched a PERFECT GAME. not too many pitchers can say they did it so stfu and enjoy that anyone out of the ordinary can do something like this..
thank you
hardooooo
FunkNatives well said. We appreciate it.
that's actually kinda what makes it cool. I'm an A's fan who grew up in Stockton, seeing something in like this is incredible
Coolquip43 209!
credit to some fantastic defense especially by Kouzamanoff. love Dallas, happy anniversary to this man!
The foul territory was the real MVP
Still tho it’s a perfect game
It works both ways
Makes you appreciate how good a. 300 hitter is in Oakland
In the 55 year history of the Oakland Coliseum, there have been only two perfect games: Catfish Hunter and Dallas Braden.
I love how he shows no emotion until the last out is made. Really shows the amount of focus he had in the game.
Dallas is legitimately one of the coolest people I have ever met. I was at the Oakland Athletics fantasy camp when he came there his first time. He was hilarious, knowledgeable, and all around a good sport. He did strike me out once, but I did get a double off him to right field. I love this video and seeing his success. I also enjoy his UA-cam videos and when he’s on the tv hosting games, etc.
look how close this is to being over in the second pitch, just an incredible game
There's been many great A's moments, but this has to be near the top. Everyone at the restaurant I was at (Mother's Day) were anxiously watching the game, some who didn't even follow baseball. The achievement simply transcended sports. Mindbending, almost out-of-body moment.
I can't watch this video enough times. It will never get old and it will always be exciting. It helps that he's also a fantastic person and he really adds excitement and enthusiasm to the atmosphere of every A's telecast. I hope he stays with the broadcast crew for as long as they'll have him.
Just knowing he was hungover makes it even crazier. Really beautiful moment between him and gma tho!
Drunk?
27 line drives to the left side later, Braden is immortal!!
Braden and kouzminoff are the whole team
rajai davis
patterson too
Barton too
Pennington too
not really, the whole team helped, offense and defense, it is a team effort to win
and the fan goes wild
failtolawl still more fans than any team in tampa bay
Anthony Long the bucs
Anthony Long lightning
Brandon Weed theres like 5 fans between all the Sports teams in Florida, that arent college.
Yeah, it sounded like a high school game. How sad. Box score shows attendance was 12,228.
I'm very touched to see him sharing the moment with his grandma, a lot of people don't realize what that means to family members. I don't have kids or grandkids but I understand how special that moment was for her.
Honestly one of the greatest moments in MLB history idc, its true
Anybody notice most perfect games are against the Rays? No hitters included xD
Agree XD
Yeah. It's happened against the Rays 3 times in the 23 perfect games in the history of the MLB. It is _technically_ 'mostly' against the Rays, but its happened twice against 3 or 4 other teams, so it's not like the Rays have a _vast_ majority of MLB's perfect games thrown against them. I think it just _seems_ that way because in recent past, it _HAS_. Those 3 perfect games have come in the last 6 in MLB history (all 3 perfectos have come in just the last 5 years).
There have been 21 perfectos since 1900, but there have been an abnormally large amount in recent history. Between 1881 and 1979, there were 7 perfect games over 98 years. Since 1980, there have been 14 perfectos over just 34 years, and 11 of those have been since 1990.
In other words, there have been twice as many perfect games thrown in only 1/3 of the time.
There have been 4 no hitters pitched against the Rays. There are plenty of teams that have had more thrown against them, so I'd say you are mistaken about that part. Again, it just _seems_ that way because all 4 have come in the last 5 years. They had ZERO prior to 2009.
Now, the Rays have only even been in the league since 1998 or something, right? So, if you take that into account, you would probably have a case that they have had a lot of perfect games and no hitters thrown against them considering they have only been around for 16 years!!
It happened twice against the Padres by the same pitcher😂. Tim Lincecum in case you didn't know
Bodie F Neither of those was a perfect game.
whydorset Yeah. I guess i should've said that
I think the only player left from that team is Barton, and braden wasn't a bad pitcher he was just plagued by injuries, and he had one hell of a change up one of the best in the league, plus gray pickoff move
How many MLB games have their been, total (as in ever)?? And this was only the 19th perfect game in MLB history?
Wow. Just plain wow.
That's something they can never take away from you, Mr. Braden. Outstanding job; very happy for you.
Watching a perfect game highlight is always so amazing because the broadcast is benign and run of the mill and some of the amazing plays being made all add up not knowing that it will end in baseball immortality… how do you not love baseball
I remember watching this live. Damn, Braden was beast. Love my A's!
5:20 OH NO
Giants fan here and I absolutely love this!!!
I know very little about baseball, but what a lovely sporting moment at the end there with his Grandmother. That was really lovely to see
I remember this game vividly. Brought my little sister to her first game. In line to get tickets, a father asks if i would like to buy some extra tickets he had because some friends couldn’t make it. For $10 bucks a seat I couldn’t say no. We both knew this was gonna be a good day. Little did we know.. we got to witness some history. Hoping the A’s will stay in Oakland. They were the Bay Areas first dynasty
Who else came back to this video because it is Mothers Day
Me lol
+Zach Tobin me
No
Here here. Happy Mothers Day
I'm a Yankees fan and even I get a little teary eyed watching this. IMO it's one of the coolest perfect games in history. I don't care that he used sticky stuff during his career or anything else. It's an incredible feat from a guy like him. And you know, as a Yankees fan I can appreciate a hungover perfecto.
Watch every mother's day! Happy mother's day!
Remember when arod ran over his mound a few weeks before this and braden was laughed at. Then he did this.
I watch this when I am feeling down.
One of the greatest sport stories WE LOVE DB
A perfect game is a TEAM accomplishment, on display here more than ever.
A lot of balls hit fairly well right at somebody.
Perfect games and no hitters do contain some luck in them
Y2JWannabe93 correct, however this one was even more luck based. 22 out of the 27 batters put the ball in play and none got a hit. That is about as unlucky as a lineup on a given day could possibly get lol
+Joseph Gonzalez not really it's just good pitching and fielding, Braden isn't a strikeout pitcher
You can make great pitches and still give up cheap ground ball singles and bloop hits. Yes a ton of luck is involved. He's also lucky nobody tried to bunt for a base hit
+Joseph Gonzalez hes got the luck of the irish boyoo
happy mother's day
This was one of the most incredible baseball moments in my lifetime. A rod disrespected this guy in the media after running across the ound a few weeks before this, and essentially called him a nobody in the post game interview. You take that along with his mother and to see him with his grandmother, absolutely incredible. Couldnt be happier for this guy.
Dallas always refers to this as his "one good day of work" on starting 9
7:05 Oh, my...What a wonderful crying...I cried too...(Grand)Mother...What a warm word!
One of my favorite moments for the Oakland A's. If you didnt tear up when Braden hugged his grandma you're not right.
You won’t see a manger let a pitcher go with all those full counts anymore. The game changed so much just in 10 years. Wow
The A's were really bad that season, but for some reason I decided to turn on the tv to watch. Best decision I ever made. My friend was at this game with his family too.
This happens to the Rays every time lol
It suprises you Matt Garza pitched a no-hitter that same year, eh?
Whos here after baseball doesnt exist new video?
I'm a little late but here
Great moment in Athletics history and most likely Braden's best moment ever especially considering it happened on Mother's Day.
A great moment.my all time favorite.go A's
It's sad to think that Dallas' final MLB start came less than a year after the perfect game (April 16th, 2011). If only he'd managed to stay healthy...
at the very least, he'll always have this game. lot of dudes in Cooperstown who never did what he did that day
He seems pretty ok with it and I like him as a broadcaster
6:44 did Dallas Braden just punch the shit out of his catcher? LOL
He did, the imp.🤣😂
This is my favorite perfect game of all time. Just something so unexpectedly special about it. and look how tiny that crowd is but how thick the atmosphere is at the end! Only in Oakland
During games like this you go back and see what big plays were made to make it happen. Super awesome.
Go to 0:26 and turn on subtitles. you wont be dissapointed
Patricia Olaf hahahha
also at 7 : 04
+Patricia Olaf It said outs to first part, what is funny about that?
+Patricia Olaf I was pretty disappointed.
+Patricia Olaf 6:46 too
Longtime gf broke up with me the day before this game. Help get my mind off it. What a performance!
Aw, when he hugged his mom my heart felt so warm
he went to my old high school, i chatted with him during a football game a few years back he seems really legit
Should've been 20th game in history since gallaraga got robbed in 2010
+Dylan Gort Gallaraga's was about a month after Braden (and a couple days after Halladay too, for that matter), so Braden's was still the 19th regardless
Gallaraga would have been number 21 because braden and halladay were before him
Dont remind me
Dylan Gort bro he was safe watch the ball move in the mit
@@dannyshibleyjr145 get out
The commentator giggles a little when he says 69 mph
It's because of how slow the pitch was
Jack McGrath it's because you don't usually throw a pitch that slow.
Jesus, Kouzmanoff deserves a defensive award for this game.
What I love about this perfect game is that he did not have any "power" pitches, yet he still was perfect.
Honestly you can chalk most of this one up to th A's lockdown defense that day. They were just fantastic for the whole game
That's why I think no-hitters are more of a pitching feat than perfect games are. Perfect games are just as much of a defensive feat as they are solely a pitching feat.
There was only one amazing play the whole freaking game, if you watch it, 99% of it was basic pop outs and ground outs. Even the play that he went into the dugout was a pop into foul territory so nothing would have probably happened anyway. Your argument holds no validity.
Has to be the emptiest crowd for a perfect game ever.
lethalphoenix damn calm down
lethalphoenix You okay man? Seem kinda upset.
Halladay's in Miami dude lol there was nobody there
There were only about 1,500 people at Tom Browning's perfect game. The game was delayed by rain though.
oakland never drew big crowds..look at the now.. in a penant race and they cant even fill half the colisium
SO much help! Great pitching, great fielding...
i meet dallas at fenway about a month ago and got his autograph and picture with him really nice guy
Win - Braden.
Save - Kouzmanoff.
The SS picking up that last ball must have been like "...don't fuck up this throw..."
Right 😂😂😂
basssorc cliff pennington never fucks up
I still can’t believe I was lucky enough to be there. Easily the greatest sporting moment of my life as a youngster
It’s one of those things few get to experience. The prestige is among the greatest. It’s hard to miss and impossible to replicate.
This is 2019 mother’s day so happy mother’s day? I guess
Whatever that offspeed pitch was, they could not time it up at all.
I remember i came back from a rave this day and saw the highlights of this game online and cried
His pitches are awesome!!
Jared would be happy
It's funny how Dallas always rags on himself on Starting9 but he was anything OTHER THAN A JUDY on this day!!!
Without Kouzmanoff this game would’ve been spoiled
The command, luck, and number of good defensive plays that had to come together to make this happen is nothing short of miraculous.
Braden is awesome as a commentator for the A's and he was an awesome pitcher.
Who is here from barstool
Who cares where you, or anyone else, came from. You are pathetic.
Of course against the RAYS
Well done, uploader: This is a very good video. Instead of showing the last batter and the pitcher being exalted, this shows the ultimate in teamwork and defense. Just as with ambitious, independent people in regular life, one can use every ounce of his soul in order to make headway, but one will still need to have other aspects fall into place which is beyond his control.
I watch this all the time!
Even bad pitchers throw perfectos...
Look at Humber.
perfect game is like some kind of god-given. Some man never has it even the one had 7 no-hitters, some one had it taken away by bad call. And some nobody can get it someday. Nobody knows. With me a PG is so magical
Its not just about how the pitcher plays but how the whole team plays.
They are major league pitchers and they were PERFECT that day. Being a good or bad pitcher has little or nothing to do with it. Like someone else said above, something about a perfect game is so magical. For me it's because anyone can be perfect on any day. and it is so rare you only see a handful in a lifetime.. maybe more but it's still a very small amount. Something like 4,500 games played a year in the regular season and most years never see one. So when it happens, it's special. Your comment is irrelevant and misunderstanding what it means and the significance of being perfect on a particular day. Anyone at anytime can do it. Because it has a lot more to do with luck and chance than it does with skill. Although both play important roles. I promise you any pitcher starting in the major leagues is not lacking in skill. Ignorant comments make me chuckle.
All you have to do is just let em hit the ball and your defense back you up right?
yankee kidd pitching the ball so it can be defended is harder than you think
When was Rajai Davis on Oakland? wtflol
when he was pretty weak and no one knew about him bruh
He started there, went to some Canadian team, then to the Motor City.
+Tristin mckinstry the only Canadian team...
He started in Oakland and also came back to Oakland in 2017 but left near the end
4:40 That's the smoothest strike 3 walkoff I've ever seen. Go A's!!!
I saw this live.. Dallas is so special ❤
Don't these A's broadcasters know you're not supposed to mention a perfect game while it's happening? They're like "__ up, __ down!"
Yeah they all say that. Watch other no hitters and they say that
+PapaJenkinz you're right
That's a way of saying no hitter without saying the words "no hitter"
That expectation is only reserved for players so they don't make the pitcher over-think the perfect game/no hitter. The pitcher can't hear the broadcasters so it doesn't matter. Broadcasters should be able to say those words because it informs the viewer regardless of the ludicrous rule for people not within hearing distance of the pitcher.
But they didn't
People will dislike anything
i get chills every time i watch this
looks like Kevin Kouzmanoff got the perfect game! good show, excellent defensive play
Who came here from the Barstool video?
Who cares where you, or anyone else, came from. You are pathetic.
No one from the Rays hit it to right field.
Nicolas Coogan whoever played right field that day must've been choked.
4:03
Definitely did to Sweeney to end the 7th
still consider myself lucky to have been at this ballgame celebrating mother's day with my family!
Pretty good lineup he did it to as well. Those rays teams were really good
