Chicago White Sox Pitcher Throws No-Hitter
Chicago White Sox Pitcher Mark Buehrle threw a no hitter on Wednesday night, as the ChiSox beat the Texas Rangers 6-0.
I caught the highlights of the game on ESPN. Buehrle had only one blemish on his pitching line, a walk to Sammy Sosa that cost him a Perfect Game.
Now I'm a National League fan, and I detest the designated hitter. But I do have to say that pitching a no-hitter in the AL, where a pitcher doesnt have to face the almost guaranteed out that is a NL pitcher at bat, is an impressive achievement.
I found a second link on the ESPN website that was interesting to me as a fan of Baseball's rich history and tradition. They have a link that compiles every no- hitter thrown since 1876.
Here's a quick quiz for you? Do you remember who threw the last no-hitter prior to Buehrle's last night? I have to admit, I had completely forgotten about this particular game. I would have guessed the Randy Johnson game against Atlanta in 2004.
Anyway, if you are a baseball fan check out the link. It's an interesting mix of names of folks who are legends and folks who pitched their no-hitter and were never heard from again.
