MASTER MOMENTS

THE MONTH OF MAY HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO PITCHERS. SEVEN OF THE 21 PERFECT GAMES IN MLB HISTORY, MORE THAN ANY OTHER MONTH. THREE OF THE SIX 20-K GAMES ON RECORD (MAX SCHERZER IN 2016, RANDY JOHNSON IN 2001, KERRY WOOD IN 1998). AND, IN 2018, TWO NO-HITTERS. THIS PATTERN LEADS TO THE QUESTION: WHAT DO SOME OF THE GREATEST PITCHERS CONSIDER THEIR MOST MEMORABLE PERFORMANCES? WE ASKED FOUR HALL OF FAMERS TO NAME THEIR FAVORITE OUTINGS. (YES, TWO OF THEM NAMED STARTS IN MAY.) CHECK OUT THEIR CHOICES HERE, AND THEN WATCH THE GAMES IN THEIR ENTIRETY ON SI.TV.
