[edit] Biographical Information

John Wasdin of the Nashville Sounds pitched a perfect game against the Albuquerque Isotopes on April 7, 2003. Wasdin had a 5.95 ERA for the 2007 Pirates and a .381 opponent average. When Salomon Torres came off of the Disabled List, Wasdin was designated for assignment.

Because of his propensity to give up home runs, and because the Red Sox radio announcer would say "way back, way back" during his home run call, he gained the immortal nickname John "Way Back!" Wasdin.
