Mark Buehrle

Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox became the 18th pitcher to throw a perfect game yesterday and has Dewayne Wise to thank for preserving his place in Major League Baseball history.

Wise took over in centerfield as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning and stole a home run from Gabe Kapler for the first out. Wise ran up the wall in left-centerfield, reached up to make the catch and then collected the ball with his throwing hand as it came loose while he fell to the ground.More: Mark Buehrle's Perfect Game Is Preserved by Wise's Home Run
