The New York Yankees have won 27 World Series titles, by far the most in Major League Baseball history, with the St. Louis Cardinals a distance second, leading the National League with 11 world championships. 

Now, the Yankees organization sits atop the record books in another coveted area.

Domingo Germán threw the 24th perfect game in MLB history Wednesday night against the Oakland A’s, giving New York four such performances in the organization's history, breaking a tie with the Chicago White Sox for the most perfect games by any team. 

YANKEES PITCHER DOMINGO GERMÁN THROWS FIRST PERFECT GAME SINCE 2012, 24TH IN MLB HISTORY

Three other Yankees have accomplished the feat, with Germán joining Don Larsen (1956), David Wells (1998), and David Cone (1999).  

Three pitchers have thrown perfect games for the White Sox, with Philip Humber being the latest in 2012. 

"So exciting," Germán said after the game, via a translator. "When you think about something very unique in baseball, not many people have an opportunity to pitch a perfect game. To accomplish something like this in my career is something that I’m going to remember forever."
