		 With some sloppy math and reasoning, I came up with on the order of 200,000 games played over the ~130 year history of MLB.  This being the 22nd perfect game, that puts the odds somewhere around .0001:1. 
 
Not quite lottery territory of improbability, but still a number that adds some perspective.
