When Harvey Haddix had his 12-inning perfect game wiped out of the baseball records books by a typically inane rule change, his response was simply, “That’s OK, I know what I did.” That same silly rule also renders Rich Hill’s game not be a no-hitter. I’m sure he knows what he did too.

In an era when so many politicians and athletes blame everyone but themselves for their problems, Rich Hill leads by quiet — and sometimes not so quiet — example.
The man so intensely competitive that he hurls invective at himself when not pitching up to his standards is the same man who refuses to blame his teammates — for an error that cost him a perfect game and for stranding 11 runners on base, which cost him a no-hitter, a shutout and a win.
