SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Matt Cain and his wife, Chelsea, returned to the field an hour and a half later for a few more perfect memories. They snapped photos on the mound, posing with the workers who tore it down so the dirt could be sent to the Hall of Fame.
Then they walked away hand in hand, stopping in left field for an embrace and long kiss.
The Giants franchise waited a long time for a perfect game, and Cain became the one to finally do it. Not Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson or Juan Marichal or Gaylord Perry before him.
Fittingly, Cain is the longest-tenured Giant these days.
His perfecto is the 22nd in major league history. He struck out a career-high 14 and got help from two spectacular catches to beat the Houston Astros 10-0 on Wednesday night.
''I've never had that much excitement in every pitch, every swing,'' Cain said.......................
