A no hitter is a game pitched where one team has no hits the entire game. This is an extremely difficult feat as there have only been 265 no-hitters in Major League Baseball since 1876.
A perfect game is where a pitcher for one team prevents the other team from reaching base during the entire game. That means that the pitcher didn't allow any hits, walks, hit batsmen, or anyone reaching base safely for any other reason. This means that the opposing team sends 27 batters to the plate and all 27 are retired. A perfect game is even rarer than a no hitter as it has only occurred 19 times since 1900.
