[3] Johnson's perfect game was the seventh in National League history (the predecessor being Dennis Martínez in 1991[3]) and the first-ever Diamondbacks no-hitter.

[1] The game was televised nationally by TBS as part of the Braves' TV contract and on FSN Arizona in the Diamondbacks' local market.

[2] The play that came closest to being a hit was Mike Hampton's second at-bat in the sixth inning when a chop ground ball dribbling left of the second base bag resulted in Alex Cintrón performing a do-or-die running grab and throw to first baseman Shea Hillenbrand for the out.

Robby Hammock, the catcher of Johnson's perfect game: Every time you catch [Johnson], you feel that something like this has a chance to happen...He's so intense, and it's something he has out there on the mound that makes me that much better.Robin Yount, the bench coach of the Diamondbacks: I was part of two no-hitters, one against [the Milwaukee Brewers] by Kansas City and Steve Busby and one for us against Baltimore with Juan Nieves.

But to see Randy do it was even more remarkable because he's had such an incredible career.Luis Gonzalez, left fielder for the Diamondbacks: Steve Finley and I were part of a no-hitter that Darryl Kile threw when we were all in Houston.
