How many perfect games?

ESPN says this is the 16th perfect game in baseball history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.173.211 (talk) 20:33, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that this is the 18th in baseball history but the 16th since 1900.

Not only is he the 24th pitcher to throw multiple no-hitters, he is also only the 6th pitcher to ever have multiple no-hitters where one of them was a perfect game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.190.213.254 (talk) 21:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Passages

I removed the following passages as I consider them unimportant to this article:

Buehrle is known as a fun-loving player; he has entertained fans during rain delays by sliding along the wet tarp, drawing criticism from manager Ozzie Guillén, who was concerned about injury. Buehrle agreed to end the practice after a warning from general manager Ken Williams early in the 2006 season.

and

In September of 2004 Buehrle spoke out against the division rival Minnesota Twins: "You have Johan Santana and Brad Radke, and you've got a chance, but then you look at the rest of their roster and you really can't see them getting past the first round. Anything can happen, but I don't see it," Buehrle told the suburban newspaper, the Chicago Daily Southtown. Buehrle later offered the Twins a chance to prove him wrong. "If it comes down to it, give me any number I need to call and if they get past the first round, I'll call and apologize to everyone I need to... I'll call Minnesota, I'll call some radio station and apologize. If they lose in the first round, although it wasn't a big deal what I said, then they need to say something to me."- Mark Buehrle (September 21, 2004) The Twins did not advance past the first round, losing 3 games to 1 against the New York Yankees.

The section "2005-present" is missing any discussion of the 2005 season when Buehrle was pivotal in leading the White Sox to the World Series Championship.

Correction on the no-hitter

Prior to Buehrle, Joe Horlen didn't pitch the last no-hitter in Chicago, or even the last one in a White Sox home game—just the last one by a White Sox in a Sox home game. Since Horlen's no-hitter, three Chicago Cubs pitchers—Ken Holtzman, Burt Hooton and Milt Pappas—had pitched no-hitters at Wrigley Field; the last no-hitter pitched in Chicago was by Detroit Tiger pitcher Jack Morris at the old Comiskey Park in 1984.

Info to be added for Buehrle's Personal Life

Mark and his family own two dogs, Vizslas named Diesel and Drake, and were featured on the Animal Planet television show Dogs 101. The dogs were added to the family in 2005, the year Buehrle won the World Series! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schniz16 (talk • contribs) 04:14, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Career highlights section

Should his home run against the Brewers really be mentioned there? I don't consider a pitcher's home run that spectacular compared to the other achievements in the box. --FeinerMax (talk) 23:05, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
