PITCH PERFECT
The perfect game is one of baseball’s most elusive accomplishments. That means no hits, no walks, no errors — no opposing baserunners, period, over the course of nine innings — and it’s happened just 16 times in major league history. 2K Sports is offering $1 million to the first person who can pitch a perfect game in its “Major League Baseball 2K10” (Xbox 360, PS3). It’s a gimmick designed to attract fans who jeered last season’s entry in the long-running series, which had more errors than a Little League game. “2K10” is far from perfect, but it’s a solid recovery.
