Jon Lester Throws No-Hitter vs. Royals (Video)

Cancer Survivor Pitches Feel Good Story of Baseball's Season (Even If It Was Just the Royals)
5/19/08


When throwing a no-hitter is, at best, only your second greatest accomplishment as a 24-year-old, you know you've achieved some special things.

Red Sox Jon Lester survived cancer that forced him to miss the end of 2006 and the first part of 2007 and tonight he tossed a no-hitter against the Kansas City Royals. It's the 18th no-hitter in Boston's history.

The line: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 2 BB and 9 K.

What a special story. Chills for me when the information popped across the bottom of the Cubs game that he was through eight inning without a hit.

I can't empathize, but I imagine after overcoming a scary disease, Kansas City Royals batters don't seem so overwhelming.

Boston 7, Kansas City 0

And as "feel good" as this story may be (which I downplay anyway since it's the Red Sox), we're going to need about 10 more cancer fighters to pitch perfect games and that guy with no legs to clean up in the Olympics to cancel out the Spurs advancing tonight.

"Just" the Royals?  They're pretty good this year and batting .264 as a team.  It's a quality accomplishment, especially considering the Royals had only been no-hit once in the history of the franchise before tonight.
