Coincidentally, it was just a couple of days ago on the SLT blog that the fact came up that there had only been 17 pitchers in MLB who had ever thrown a perfect game (see SLT blog of 7/22/09).

Sportslawtalk (SLT) emphasizes contracts, negotiations, and legal issues.  Here's some information on the negotiation and contract that kept Mark Buehrle in a Sox uniform for this historic outing.

Buehrle was almost traded by Sox in 2007.  See link about details:

Yet, of course, he was re-signed:
