This last set includes five events during the baseball season that likely would have been number 1’s in any other year.  2010 was the year of the pitcher.

#5 – Dallas Braden – Alex Rodriguez Feud

Don’t cross my mound!  Check out the video here that put Dallas Branden on the baseball map: http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/04/rumors/dallas-braden-welcome-to-a-rods-privileged-world/

#4 – Roy Halladay’s no-hitter in the National League Division Series

Not since Don Larson’s perfect game has anybody thrown a no-hitter in post season play.  Halladay threw his second no-hitter of the season against the Cincinnati Reds to start off the Philadelphia Phillies’ post season.

#3 – Roy Halladay’s Perfect Game

Only in 2010 can a perfect game be ranked as #3.

#2 – Dallas Braden’s Perfect Game

Branden may have found his way onto the baseball map with his fight with Alex Rodriguez, but his perfect game cemented his place in history.

Here’s the video of the first perfect game of the 2010 season:  http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/05/rumors/video-dallas-bradens-perfect-game-and-hugging-his-grandma-on-mothers-day/

#1 – Armando Galarraga’s Almost Perfect Game

Would I rather have the perfect game or get the world’s attention in the almost perfect game.  I think I would rather have the perfect game in a season filled with two others.

I have to hand it to Galarraga, for keeping his poise.  I would have gone ballistic.  And I can only imagine what umpire Jim Joyce went through.

He’s the video of what may be one of the most famous plays in the history of baseball:  http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/06/rumors/video-armando-galarrag-throws-21st-perfect-game-in-major-league-baseball-history/
