You'll never see a career like Philip Humber's again
Former White Sox pitcher achieved immortality with perfect game, then paid the price for it
On April 21, 2012, Philip Humber threw the 21st perfect game in MLB history, made even more memorable by a controversial checked-swing strike three to end it.
Two days later, he received the customary invitation all perfect pitchers receive -- the opportunity to deliver the Top 10 list on "The Late Show with David Letterman."
It was funny then, because Humber read his lines with more inflection than the average athlete (see Buehrle, Mark). It's still funny now, but for a different reason.
