WATCH: Streamer throws a perfect game with Roy Oswalt in MVP Baseball 2005, sets the internet on fire
Sometimes the internet delivers exactly the kind of wholesome, unhinged content you didn’t know you needed, and this is one of those times. Jay Lucarelli Sports has been livestreaming his quest to pitch a perfect game with Roy Oswalt in the classic video game MVP Baseball 2005, and it turned into an absolute saga.
It took him over a WEEK to pull it off. The man was at it so long he actually started a weight loss challenge in the middle of the grind because it was dragging on that badly. But after 1,993 games… he finally reached the mountaintop.

The Ending Couldn’t Have Been Scripted Better
Picture the scene. It’s a Sunday night, the Monday morning trip back to the cube is staring everyone right in the face, and that’s when it finally happened. Roy Oswalt snagged a comebacker that had eyes for center field, and just like that, the perfect game was complete.
Watching that video, there’s no way your heart didn’t stop, just for a split second, when you saw that ball lined right back through the box. That’s the kind of screamer that ruins perfect games but deep down, there was never a doubt Roy Oswalt was grabbing that one to make history.
That’s how a 1,993-game odyssey ended, with the baseball going right into Roy Oswalt’s own glove. Hard not to think that it was always meant to end that way.
You couldn’t have written it better if you tried.
There’s genuinely nothing like beating your favorite game, and this man conquered his after a full week of grinding. When you throw perfection after 1,993 tries, it’s truly a moment he’ll remember forever.
