Roy Halladay's No-No: Tell Us about the no-no's you've seen
 

I've just returned from watching Roy Halladay pitch the first no-hitter in the post season since Don Larsen's gem of 56 years ago. Doc was brilliant in mixing up his pitches, using all of the plate, and pitching the most exciting game I've witnessed. He dominated.

It was also the first no-hitter I've seen in person. What are some of your memorable no-hitters?

Cheers, Mike

Make sure you save the stub Mike!:)

Pretty lucky you were there today. I've never seen a no-hitter in person.

I saw Darryl Kile's no-hitter in person at the Astrodome in the early '90s against the Mets.

I recall seeing several on TV as far back as 1969 where Bob Moose of the Pirates no-hit the Mets and more recently Randy Johnson's perfect game against the Braves and Francisco Cordovas and Rincon's combined extra inning no hitter against the Astros.

I saw Ubaldo Jiminez no-hit the Braves this year.

Barry--Oh, I most certainly have saved the ticket--even took it to the game in a plastic holder!

Cheers, Mike

I randomly went to see the Phils play the Giants at the Vet on April 27, 2003 and saw Kevin Millwood pitch one.

I saw Jim Abbott pitch his. Pretty incredible to watch a one armed pitcher do it.

no-no's you've seen
 

I have seen a couple in person. The first was Bo Belinsky's no hitter against Baltimore in 1962 when I was 18. The last one was a combined no-hitter by Langston and Witt in 1990. Belinsky made more headlines for his dating life (Ann Margaret and Mamie Van Doren) than his pitching. "1962" - I think I am getting old! Mike Ellis

I've seen 3
 

I was present for:

Al Leiter vs. Rockies in 1996
David Wells vs. Twins in 1998
David Cone vs. Expos in 1999

Indeed, that was an amazing feat!

World Series PERFECT game
 

I saw Don Larsen's perfect game in Oct 8th 1956.

Only 97 pitches....and, Pee Wee Reese was the only Dodger to work the count to 3 Balls.

Mickey Mantle's unbelievable running catch in deep left-center field in front of the Monuments off Gil Hodges' bat saved the day.

Mantle hit a HR to score what was the only Run needed to win the game.

Also, Sal Maglie pitched a heck of a game for the Dodgers.

no hitter/perfect
 

i saw larsen's as a wee lad but significant pieces of the game still stand out
for me.

best,
barry

As a Mets die hard fan I unfotunately have never seen one that I cared about. Too many 1 hitters for me the one that stands out is Bobby Jones in the playoffs in 2000. In 1969 I was fortunate to Tom Seaver pitch his on TV. It just shows that Halliday will go down as one of the all time greats. CN

Wow congrats on watching today's mastepiece. The Phillies are gonna be tough again!

I saw Jonathan Sanchez last year vs the Padres.

Go Gigantes!

my favorite
 

My favorite no-no and this video is truly funny. Enjoy!

I was at Jim Bunning's perfect game vs the Mets, still have my stub.
--

I saw Carlos Zambrano carry one into the 7th. Then, in true Zambrano/Liriano/Hothead fashion, he gave up a hit and promptly allowed 5 runs. Classic Big Z!

Yes. I'm a jaded Cubs fan. sorry.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!
 

OMG! That is hysterical!! Thanks for putting it up for all to see.

Nice to know all those chemicals didn't mess him up in later years. :eek:

I saw Terry Mulholland's 1990 no-hitter in person. Unfortunately, I removed my ticket stub from its usual place among all my other ticket stubs to "put it in a good place," and it's now in the "where are they now category". D'ohh!

On TV, watching live, I've seen several:
- Halladay's last night
- Halladay's perfect game this year
- Kevin Millwood's in 2003
- the Friday night ESPN doubleheader no-hitter in 1990 (Dave Stewart first, then Fernando Valenzuela in the nightcap)
- Bob Forsch against the Phillies in 1978

I saw Nolan Ryan's no-hitter at Tiger Stadium . He had 17 strikeouts (I think). One of the greatest performances ever.

I was at Kenny Rogers perfect game in 1994. My wife was ready to go, because there wasn't enough action! I explained what was happening and she agreed to stay.

I was at Nolan Ryan's seventh no-hitter in 1991 :)

Steve

I was at John Candelaria's no hitter,and i also moved it to a safe place:confused: Hopefully one day I'll find the safe place! Lou

Frank Wakefield and myself
 

both saw the Jose Jiminez no-hitter at what is now called I believe, Chase Field.

He tells the story better than I do, so Frank. go ahead

Rich

Tony, glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! When Doc Ellis was with Texas I saw him be restrained by team-mates one game as he tried to jump in the stands and beat up a fan!

Cy of Relief
 

During our 100 year tenure as a baseball fan, we have been fortunate to witness two no hitters.

Oddly both involved the NY and Boston American League teams

In June 1908 we were at the old NY Higlanders Park to witness Cy Young's
third and final n- hitter.

And more than 70 years, on a blistering hot Thursday July 4th afternoon, we watched former Yankee relief great no hit the Boston Red Sox.

Fortunately we still have the ticket for each of the games.

I saw a rain-shortened no-hitter...
 

In 1988, Pascual Pérez pitched a rain-shortened five inning no-hitter while playing for the Montreal Expos.

Against the Phillies.

I think it has finally been revealed...there is a 'we' to Bruce. The other guy, however, is probably no longer with us.

Brian

Ok, wake up people
 

C'mon, am I the only one to spot that Bruce(we) claims to have witnessed a no-hit game over 100 years ago? You guys are normally a lot sharper than this whenever Bruce is involved.

Brian

My bet is people noticed it, but realizing it was just yet another cry for attention by Bruce, chose to ignore it. That's what I did.

Al Leiter in 1996. The game was one sided from the beginning, the Marlins were killing the Rockies. I don't anyone(at least the fans in the stadium) was even paying attention to the fact he had the no hitter until about the 8th inning!

I was at Dwight Gooden's no-hitter in 1996. What I remember is thinking that he wasn't particularly dominant that day as he had more BBs than Ks and was helped by some great D (particularly a sweet catch by Gerald williams in CF). I also thought that if he wasn't such a dumbass junkie he may well have already pitched a couple of no-hitters at that point in his career. I was rooting for him though and he pitched like an ace for a month or two but by the end of the season he sucked so bad he wasn't even on the post-season roster.

I didn't save the ticket stub which is too bad because I could have picked my teeth with it.
