    excitement, but Doc is such a calm personality, it wasn't nothing more hardcore than a bear-hug and a few high-fives.

    Nothing rattles that guy.

    Yeah, that had to be the most subdued celebration I have seen from a perfect game or no hitter.

    I think he was so heavily focused on protecting that 1 run lead that maybe the enormity of the moment wasn't so prevalent for him.

    2 perfect games in 1 season, when we average 1 every 6-7 years or so.

    And another no hitter on top of that. Crazy season.

    It wasn't a celebration that could ... break one's leg for example. :wink:

    It's amazing what a great American League ace can do in the National League.
