Phlip Humber was the third overall pick in the 2004 MLB draft, but things didn't go as planned. He spent years in the minors and was released twice before making the White Sox in 2011.

Then, on April 21, 2012, in Seattle in his second start of the season, Humber did something only 20 pitchers in MLB history had accomplished at that time.

25 of the outs were relatively routine. One required a leaping grab on the warning track. The last out is the story of the game.

This is the story of the unlikeliest perfect game ever and Humber's journey that followed.
