Happy 55th Birthday to David Wells, who threw a perfect game for the New York Yankees just over 20 years ago.

On Sunday, May 17, 1998, Wells threw a perfect game at Yankee Stadium for a 4-0 win over the Minnesota Twins. Wells later said in his autobiography that he was still half drunk from a Saturday Night Live cast party the night before.

Wells won 239 games during a 21-year career with numerous teams, first reaching the big leagues in 1987 with the Toronto Blue Jays.
