Jesus Pitches a Perfect Game
Some headlines just write themselves.
I always knew that if Jesus was going to play a sport that it would be baseball. You think that Johan Santana has a wicked curve? Please. Okay, it wasn’t the walk-on-water Jesus, but a kid with that very same name pitched a perfect game in the Little League World Series. While the LLWS is something that I don’t watch, because I find the idea of a grown man watching little boys not related to him play ball, kind of creepy; I respect the heck out of the young ‘uns that take part in the event. And Jesus was unhittable. From Fox:
Jesus Sauceda of Matamoros, Mexico, struck out all 12 batters in the first perfect game at the Little League World Series in 29 years on Sunday.
Sauceda needed to pitch only four innings, instead of the usual six, in the 12-0 victory over Emilia, Italy. It was the fifth perfect game at the Little League World Series and the first since Chao-An Chen of Taiwan tossed one in 1979.
If there was any doubt of this kid’s divine skill, he also went 3-3 with six RBIs, and proved to Pedro Cerrano that Jesus can indeed hit the curve ball.
There is no truth to the rumor that Jose Canseco is already claiming that he and Jesus used to shoot up steroids together.
