The Arizona Diamondbacks' Randy Johnson pitched a perfect game Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves. Wednesday night David Letterman had a camera crew in Atlanta so Randy could read a list of the top ten cool things about pitching a perfect game.
The list is in extended copy.
- "After this I can go 0-15 for the rest of the year and honestly not give a crap."
- "My pregame dinner at Denny's? On the house."
- "Shows everyone that even though I'm 40, I can still ... I'm sorry, I lost my train of thought."
- "Cool to get a congratulatory call from the president, even though he kept calling me 'Larry.'"
- "Can walk up to guys who have thrown no-hitters and whisper: 'Loser!'"
- "All the pine tar I can eat!"
- "Your catcher hugs you and it feels kind of... nice."
- "Maybe people will finally get over the time that I killed that bird."
- "It's just one more thing about me that's perfect. Am I right, ladies?"
