2012 MLB Season Tag

Its only May 10th and we have already had an incredible year in baseball.   Thanks to Phillip Humber we have seen the 21st perfect game in MLB history, and on Tuesday night Josh Hamilton belted 4 dingers in one game to become only the 16th player to do so.  These two incredible achievements have never been accomplished in the same season until now.

In addition, Angels pitcher Jered Weaver pitched the 10th no-hitter in Angels franchise history on May 2nd.  This is the second no-hitter for the Angels in as many years.  Ervin Santana hurled the other no-hitter on July 27th of last year.

In other historical news, Jamie Moyer became the oldest player in MLB history to win a game at 49 years old.

The MLB season is officially now in full swing.  See what I did there?

Silly puns aside, teams around the league are beginning to hit their early stride as players start to get a feel for the 2012 season.

Every year the city of Chicago looks forward to the start of baseball.  Not only does the Windy City have 2 historic teams to help usher in the spring, but it also seems like people want to get past the cold winter as soon as possible.   The sooner baseball gets going, the sooner the warmth arrives.
