Johnny Cueto Perfect Game

This is my third perfect game in 51 years (rolled first game at 6)
 (in 1976) 1975 Steve Busby KCR vs 1975 Vida Blue cards and dice - Blue threw a 1 hitter
Ryan Dempster 2013 (he was bad) in my pbm draft league game was against me but played by me on computer
and this 1 very satisfying in many ways.
It occurred during the as played 2015 season of my Royals WS year.
Also, it was so easily accomplished - no split results and the x chart was only called upon once (not that with KC that would be an issue) a CF X where Jarod Dyson (1 e5) made the play
The last 3 innings were tense because it was a perfect game but the rolls were a walk in the park each inning.
Ned Yost did me no favors A Gordon at DH Zobrist in RF Morales at 1b- I actually took out the DH in 9th as Gordo can't screw anything up (1 e 0)
I have had 29 no hitters (played by me not auto played on computer) before this one R A Dickey 2014 version for my pbm team- dancing knuckler that night.

History was made in Kansas City as Johnny Cueto(15-6) thrilled the crowd by
tossing a perfect game and the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago (AL)
White Sox by the score of 2 to nothing.

The partisan crowd cheered every Chicago (AL) out from the 7th inning on.
What a day for the fans.  They were on the edge of their seats from the 7th
inning on.  With every out, the electricity in the air mounted.  Both teams'
bats went to sleep after the 3rd inning with no runs scored after that point.

Erik Johnson(0-1) suffered the loss.  Cueto was in a jubilant mood after the
game.  'If I'd known I was going to throw a no hitter I would have gotten a
haircut!' he said, much to the delight of the clubhouse gathering.
