I work nights at a post office and heard it on the radio.
Great! Especially since his future seemed uncertain
due to non-Hodgkins lymphoma not all that long ago.
Heard on radio:
—Varitek is the only catcher to catch 4 no hitters
(Lowe, Nomo, and Buckholz were the other pitchers)
—18th no-no in Sox history; only the Dodgers have more
The night Buckholz threw his no-hitter was the Saturday of
Labor Day weekend. I was watching a minor league game in
New Britain, CT (Rock Cats) and kept checking on the
Sox on the radio; heard about impending no-hitter. They
mentioned it on the loudspeaker, etc., and I was tuning in
and heard Buckholz get the final out etc
They were going through the list of pitchers never to have a no-hitter. The list is a whos who of pitching.
Also, the Mets have never had a no hitter.
And Pedro isn’t going to give them one!
