That has to happen in rapid succession. I'm not denigrating someone pulling one off, but the conditions have to just right, and a bit of pure luck is needed.

A perfect game is over the span of 9 innings, and it would seem the stress would be exponentially greater.

Just a thought. They're both amazingly rare. 👏
