Was Corey Kilgannon's shot at sports perfect?
"Everything seemed perfect for Anthony Velazquez going into yesterday's game.
"Anthony, 17, made history by throwing perfect games in his last two starts pitching for Bayside High School in Queens, retiring every batter consecutively with no walks or errors or anything.
"The perfect game is a stunning achievement by any pitcher in baseball, and two in a row had never been done before in high school, experts said. Yet yesterday afternoon, Anthony was trying to throw a third, against Bayside's rival, the powerful Cardozo High School.
"His stage was a perfectly groomed baseball diamond at Cardozo, also in Bayside, with a perfectly partisan crowd of family and friends to soothe his perfect case of nerves. He even had the perfect umpire for striking out batters."
