for example, on march 14, 2000, the red sox used six pitchers to achieve a 5–0 perfect game victory over the toronto blue jays. a perfect game is considered a crowning accomplishment during the regular season or postseason, but in spring training it attracts little notice. starting pitcher pedro martínez, who lost a perfect game in extra innings in 1995 while pitching for the former montreal expos, was talking to reporters at the conclusion of the game, rather than watching the final pitches. reliever rod beck, who finished the game, did not realize the nature of his accomplishment until informed by catcher joe sidall. many fans also left before the game's conclusion.
