Linked And Loaded – Friday 7/24

Congratulations Mark Buehrle for throwing the 18th perfect game in Major League Baseball history!  With a no-hitter to his credit already, Buehrle joined some pretty elite company yesterday with his perfect game.  He owes DeWayne Wise big time for preserving the fete with a great catch in the ninth. Here are some great stories:
