Dallas Braden has a perfect game through 7 innings against the powerhouse offense of Tampa Bay. I guess ARod will know who this guy is soon enough ... PS, I benched him on my fantasy team, and this is absolutely killing me right now.

Jim Bunning had a no hitter on Fathers Day in 1964, and now Braden gets one on Mothers Day.

I believe that they had said on ESPN that his mother died during his teenage years due to melanoma.Glory Days wrote: i wonder if his mom was there, he is from that area they said.

Speaking of which, I dare someone to watch this video of Braden embracing his grandmother and not tear up a little bit.

This is the video of the final out, the part with his grandmother is near the end.

you can see he was kinda choked up in his post game interview.
