Something you don't see everyday

Monday night's game in Boston brought something to the Royals that hadn't happened to them personally since I was 6 years old - an opposition pitcher's no-hitter.

Boston's Jon Lester became only the second pitcher in history to no-hit the Royals, winning 7-0.  He struck out 9, walked 2, and had dynamite defense behind him.  What made this story more inspirational was that Lester was diagnosed with lymphoma no more than 4 years ago.  To me, that is remarkable.

By the way, the first to no-hit the Royals did so in Kansas City.  The legendary Nolan Ryan threw that gem.

Hopefully, the next one will be thrown by one of our pitchers.  Time will tell.
