MLB '12

Whatever the odds, they're better than actually getting a crisp garlic fry at AT&T.

As to the clumping of perfect games, the reality is that from the dawn of the lively ball until maybe the mid-sixties, maybe later, with a few rare exceptions--pitchers pretty much sucked. You can see You Tube videos of the swings of Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Ken Griffey, Jr., etc. and see that little if anything in the science of the swing has changed in the last 80 years. Much in the science and athleticism of pitching has. Look at videos of guys lumbering around the mound in the forties and fifties. No wonder they could pitch endless complete games on two or three days rest. Most of them weren't working that hard.

Today's pitchers have the advantage over today's hitters. Except for the ones that suck. And even them sometimes.
