Well, good for Randy Johnson.It was noted that the catcher seemed much more excited than Johnson did — I'm picturing Berra running up to Larsen after his perfect game (which, if Berra wasn't the catcher in that game, is kind of odd) — and I have two thoughts on this: 1) Johnson is 40 years old and just pitched nine innings (do you get extra credit for a perfect game on the road?); he's old and tired. 2) If he had been that excitable, he would have beaned that last batter on the 2-2 count. That he finished the perfect game was itself clear evidence that he was keeping his cool.
