The Giants’ Matt Cain Pitched A Perfect Game Last Night, And Some Guy On A Jetpack Was There, Too

There’s not much more to say, really: the Giants’ Matt Cain pitched the 22nd perfect game in MLB history, and first in San Francisco Giants history (but second of this season) last night in a 10-0 domination of the Astros. Even by perfect-game standards, Cain’s effort was phenomenal – he recorded 14 strikeouts and despite getting some help from a great catch in the outfield, has some wondering if last night’s game was the best ever pitched. We’ll let others have that debate – the perfect game is indisputable. Here’s how it ended, via the MLB Network:

And here are all of Cain’s 14 strikeouts, also via MLB Negtwork:

While the perfect game was obviously the story of the night in San Francisco, though, it wasn’t the only interesting thing happening around AT&T Park. One man in the vicinity might have rivaled Cain for eyeballs drawn in his direction – but rather than his pitching prowess, this guy was an attention-getter because… he was riding a jetpack around.

You know, “I was riding a jetpack around McCovey Cove outside the Giants game” is really a good enough story. Add in the “it was a perfect game” factor, and this guy’s really showing us all up.
