Nine-month-old has witnessed two perfect games

Meet ninth-month-old Bode Dockal. Ask him what it's like to see two perfect games. (MLB.com)

Bode Dockal may be merely nine months old, but already he's accrued, oh, seven or eight lifetimes worth of baseball-going experiences.

How is this possible? Young Bode, you see, has been to two major-league games in his young life, and each time he has witnessed a perfect game. Once more, for appropriate emphasis: He's been to two games, each perfect. He's nine. Months.

Stated another way, Bode Dockal -- who, let us remember, has crawled among us for but nine months -- has experienced in person 8.7% of the perfect games throughout the sprawl of baseball history. "That's all well and good, Mr. Curiosity Rover," Bode Dockal will say at a future dinner party, "but I saw two perfect games. If memory serves, I pooped during both."

Indeed, he saw Philip Humber's perfecto on April 21, and then he happened to be in the Safeco Field seats once again to bear sippy-cupped witness to Felix Hernandez's recent gem of gems.

So is there any reason for young Master Dockal not to appear in a commercial with Kate Upton? Is there any reason for him not to offer to attend any pitcher's next start provided his Hot Wheels-laden list of demands is satisfied?
