Ever seen a No-Hitter?

[Jowhh]

To clarify i mean in person, not on tv... Last year I saw Ace Walker of the Winnipeg Goldeyes throw a no hitter through 8 innings, he ended up with a one hitter. This was a independent league game.... highlights below

Yup, i saw Jonathon Sanchez throw his no hitter.

Re: Ever seen a No-Hitter?

Yes. Actually, a perfect game.

I was 13 yrs old and at the old Cleveland Stadium when Len Barker pitched his perfecto against Toronto in 1981...went as a field trip with my Little League team.

Back then, the Tribe were horrid. So this was a shining moment in an otherwise dismal season.

Well, obviously we had no idea what would happen.

And because we were a little league team, our coach wanted us to see how the "big boys" played the game.

But it was an awesome experience; I can still remember being hoarse afterward from screaming as the last innings played.

Re: Ever seen a No-Hitter?

Nope, nothing really even close.

That would be pretty awesome to be there for one though... everyone on pins and needles for every pitch.

Re: Ever seen a No-Hitter?

I seriously was THIS close to getting tickets for Roy Halladay's playoff no hitter last year vs the Reds


Oh, what could've been

I caught one in Little League

Re: Ever seen a No-Hitter?

This is the closest I've come to seeing one that I can remember. And really it wasn't all that close given that a hit happened in the first, but it was still fun to watch.

Same. I remember my dad and I went to the game rather last minute, telling ourselves, "It's Randy Johnson's turn in the rotation. This should be fun to watch." I guess we forgot he had just went on the DL before that, and when we heard Sanchez's name we were thinking to ourselves, "He's going to have to prove himself this time out, or else he might find himself off the roster tomorrow."

And whenever I watch a game, I always think: "He has a perfect game until he allows a runner to reach base," so technically I'm in the perfect game mode from the very first pitch. After the first three innings, I already started to feel it. It was about the fifth inning when my dad even realized it, looking up at the scoreboard. To this day, Uribe's error in the 8th haunts me. Sanchez was dealing that day, and the only good piece of wood all game was the one that Rowand caught at the wall in the ninth inning. It was also a special moment since I believe his mother or father was in attendance (like the one game they came up to the States to see), and they came out onto the field afterward congratulating him.

It was a special moment indeed, the kind of no-hitter that even Blzer can be proud of (not walking anyone, striking out eleven hitters, and allowing the first baserunner to reach late in the game). I think he got a lot of help from the umpire in the ninth inning, but it was such an awesome game to say that I went to!

I pitched one in Little League.

Funny you guys mention this actually. I was the field umpire in a Little League perfect game once, yet I didn't realize he threw one until about five minutes after the game. I remember telling a fan that it was an easy paycheck not having to deal with many runners on the base paths, and he said something along the lines of, "I'll say, considering that young Rockies pitcher threw a perfecto." I then realized why all the fans were singing some song to him in congratulatory fashion afterward.

Re: Ever seen a No-Hitter?

Nope, 1 hitter with 17 strikeouts though:

The hit was a homerun in the 2nd inning though, so there was no real drama about whether he'd get a no hitter, and he didn't even get a shutout, but damn he was dominant.

The funny thing about Uribe's error is that he was either just brought into the game or moved over to 3rd from 2nd for defense in the 8th inning, lol.

Re: Ever seen a No-Hitter?

I think I saw one go into the 7th or 8th inning during a Braves @ Dodgers game a few years ago. Can't remember when and who was pitching though.
