I missed the game, darn it, but this compilation of all 27 of Johan Santana’s outs has given me a taste of the first Mets no-hitter.
If you care about the Mets, it’s well worth the 4-plus minutes it takes to watch. Heck, if you care about baseball at all, it’s worth it. I love how it starts out as a routine game and builds up into something where the announcers are first keeping quiet about the fact that Johan had not given up a hit… then the growing excitement, then the spectacular defensive plays to keep it going. Then the celebration at the end. Congrats, Johan… congrats, Mets fans everywhere
