That giants v Astros Matt Cain Perfect Game is, in my opinion, the greatest and most dominant game played by a team in baseball history. To not only throw a perfect game with 14 Ks but to also club the Astros 10-0 has got to be the best display of team baseball in history, no?

The wise one is even cooler when you remember he was subbed in purely for defense in that 9th. They are up 5-0 and the CF has played just fine, who puts in a defensive sub at that point? He owes his manager a dinner too.

If we're including non game ending catches to save no hitters

Mike Baxter

Fractured bones and dislocated a collarbone on that play to preserve the first no hitter in Mets history.
