I was lucky enough to be at Turner Field for Randy Johnson's perfect game several years ago.
The tension and excitement in the stands after each pitch must be unbelievable when the hometown guy is doing something insane. And, that catch has got to be on the short list of greatest clutch catches given the situation and timing not to mention level of difficulty.
Of course, my only memory from Johnson's perfect game? The group of 6-8 people sitting in front of me left in the 7th inning because the girls were bored since the Braves weren't doing anything (!!!) and one of the guys got pooped on by a pigeon sitting in the rafters overhead. Talk about double suck.
