The makers of MLB2K11, the baseball video game which has Roy Halladay as its cover boy, decided to promote the launch of the game with a contest. The first person to throw a perfect game with the difficulty on its highest level would win a million dollars. The winner ended up being a guy named Brian Kingrey, and just who did Ben use to throw this perfect game?

That's pretty much how it happens in real life also.
↵In addition to the million dollars, Kingrey also gets to meet Roy Halladay this week. Roy has also thrown a perfect game and got paid handsomely for it. But he did it, you know, for real.
