Poetry in Motion: Plank Pitches Perfect Game
With the final, flawless out recorded, the Oakland Athletics piled onto Eddie Plank at the center of the O.co Coliseum diamond. Plank joined baseball's most hallowed club, completing a perfect game against the Texas Rangers.

The 32-year-old left-hander kept the Texas offense guessing all day long and with some help from the defenders behind him, etched his name into the record books with the 3-0 shutout.

"His breaking pitches had more movement than I've ever seen from Eddie," Oakland manager said in the postgame interview. "He made everyone's job easy today. He just saw a target and he hit it. Simple as that."

For the game, Plank retired all 27 batters he faced and fanned 8 of them. He walked none and nobody got on base.

To date Plank is 8-9 in 20 starts with a 4.42 ERA and has 98 strikeouts in 114 innings.
