Just five days after his perfect game in July 2009, White Sox ace Mark Buehrle retired the first 17 Twins he faced, running his streak of consecutive batters set down to a record-breaking 45. That mark topped the previous record held by teammate Bobby Jenks and San Francisco’s Jim Barr. But baseball has a way of turning quickly — Buehrle lost the perfect game, the no-hitter, the shutout, and ultimately the game itself. The White Sox fell into a tie for second place, leaving fans with both awe and anguish.
