MLB.com has had this one ready for a while

Look at the lead story on MLB.com after the end of the football season:

Manning named MVP; search for perfection moves to baseball
No one's perfect.

Except Randy Johnson, David Cone, David Wells, Kenny Rogers, Dennis Martinez, Tom Browning, Mike Witt, Len Barker, Catfish Hunter, Sandy Koufax, Jim Bunning, Don Larsen (1956 World Series), Charlie Robertson, Addie Joss, Cy Young, John Montgomery Ward and John Lee Richmond.

Perfection, thy name is baseball.

All 17 pitchers who have thrown a perfect game are duly noted here because it is time again to focus on the national pastime -- if we can stop shaking our heads long enough. Charlie Brown floated in to steal the Coke bottle, the SoBe Life Water geckos ate each other, Justin Timberlake got sucked in by the excitement, the e*trade kid got creeped out by the clown, game MVP Eli Manning hit Plaxico Burress after a play for the ages and the New York Giants somehow beat the New England Patriots, 17-14, in an unforgettable Super Bowl XLII.

About that Coke commercial...If Charles Schulz had written it, Lucy would have pulled the bottle away from Charlie Brown at the last second. Good grief, Charlie Brown isn't supposed to win.
