You knew this was not going to be an ordinary day when you saw Matt Cain taking early swings at AT&T Park ? with a golf club. He parked a Titleist in McCovey Cove from home plate ? estimated distance 310 yards ? and then proceeded to club Astros hitters in similar fashion for the first perfect game in Giants franchise history. That dates to when they broke into the National League as the New York Gothams in 1883, by the way. Honest John Clapp and Tip O?Neill, this one was for you.
Speaking of McCovey Cove, one fan made like James Bond and took periodic peeks at the game above the outfield wall with some kind of a water-powered jet pack.
Video here.
Seems that Jet Pack Guy is already an internet meme. Ha.
Jet Pack Guy: Patron Saint of Perfect Games.
What was even more amazing to me than the perfect game was the fact that the Giants had 15 hits and 10 runs, with three homers. That?s easily a month?s worth of offense for this team.
Oh, and bite me, East Coast Bias:
But here?s another great thing about the perfect game: plenty of shots of Cain?s wife, Chelsea.
