I knew Blanco saving Cain's perfect game would be the last one on this video because Kuiper's call was SO GOOD.

Never forget that Austin Jackson saved Galarraga’s perfect game in the 9th inning for the Tigers. Truly a remarkable game with no controversy whatsoever.

My total biased opinion (I'm a White Sox fan haha) but that Dwayne Wise catch, given the situation, was probably one of the best catches of all time. He was playing pretty shallow to begin with and that ball left the bat pretty quick, so the fact he even got there is amazing in itself. But to have that composure not only to get a glove on it running full speed at the fence, but to catch the juggling ball while he was falling was simply amazing.

1:20 imagine how mad phillies fans would be if he dropped that, it was a routine fly ball, except he fell

I love watching these. When we talk no-hitters, it’s all about the pitcher. These are good reminders that in reality it takes a whole team to make it happen

[Seanster_]

Crawford, Wise, Baxter, and Blanco's catches were all the best

[keenanbartlome]

This is really a testimony to the giants defense in recent years.

The Dewayne Wise catch gives me chills and I'm not even a white sox fan

[claytonreid]

Giants defense has just always been good man, Boch and Kap know where the value is, and yet we always get written off. But for context: Cain perfect 2012, Lincecums first No hit 2014, second 2015, Chris Heston 2016, and I believe there might be one more in there I'm forgetting (I don't believe Peavy got his). Team has always been dirty defensively.

DeWayne Wise's catch was one of the best catches I'd ever seen. I remember screaming at the screen, as it was happening live, "CATCH IT CATCH IT CATCH IT!"

[louisstiles]

Dwayne Wise takes the top in this one. Unbelievable catch in the 9th inning.

[vaibanez]

As a White Sox fan I will never ever forget Wise's catch in Buehrle's perfecto. So much concentration on that play.

[nathanbaca]

Blanco's diving catch to save Matt Cain's perfect game was the single greatest moment in my baseball spectating experience.

[walterbison]

@4:04 The ONLY play in this video where the player had the choice of either saving a no-hitter or saving his career. Thanks for sacrificing it all Mike.

[TacomaPaul]

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 within a few years of each other.

[sirgooo]

The Jordan Zimmermann no hitter still gives me the chills every time I see it

[mileschorro]

blanco saving the perfect game makes me tear up, legendary

[ilovebrandnewcarpets]

IMHO If we all live to be 100 we'll never see a better and more dramatic catch to save a perfect game than Wise's catch

[ubery]

First name that came to mind was Wise. Well not entirely- I couldn’t remember his first name was DeWayne. But what a catch! Dude never played more than 100 games in a season, yet he’ll always be a baseball hero for that moment.

[brianwilliams]

Being a White Sox fan im actually shocked with all the love for the Wise catch. Honestly expected it to not even be on here. White Sox players not being ignored is new to me.
