SANTA CLARA -- Jim Harbaugh played golf in the same group with Giants pitcher Matt Cain at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February.And his face lit up Thursday at the conclusion of the 49ers' three-day mandatory minicamp when he was asked about the perfect game Cain pitched Wednesday night against the Houston Astros."Wonderful guy, great competition and just couldn't be happier for him," Harbaugh said. "And I can say I know him."The first perfect game in Giants franchise history was a remarkable individual achievement. But Harbaugh saw it as much more than that."Really grasped the whole team effort of that, watched some of those catches made in the outfield," Harbaugh said, referring to outstanding defensive plays from Gregor Blanco and Melky Cabrera that preserved the perfect game. "Just wonderful, wonderful to witness."
