Just a heads-up, this is Maddux’ second perfect game in 1991 alone. To my knowledge, no MLB pitcher has ever thrown two perfect games in a career, let alone in the same season. So if he DOES pull this off, it would be an historic achievement on the level of…uh, something REALLY awesome.

Or Nolan Ryan. Dude threw seven no-hitters; I still can’t believe one of those wasn’t a perfect game.
Yea, then they're really screwed. And don't forget they sent Kenny Lofton to Oakland, he just hasn't been called up yet

Injury in the Rockies, New Stadium in ATL
July 29, 1991: Frank Thomas collapses to the ground legging out a ground ball in a game against the California Angels, grabbing his foot. He is helped off the field and taken to the clubhouse. However, this seems to inspire the Zephyrs to victory, as they come back from a 9-4 deficit to win 10-9. This puts them within 5 games of the Twins and A's, who are tied for first place in the AL West.
August 1, 1991: Ground breaks on the new Atlanta Falcons dome. Rankin Smith and Jerry Glanville take the shovel to begin.
