Johan Santana Pitches 1st No Hitter In Mets History

Friday evening at Citi Field, history was made in Flushing Meadow, New York. Johan Santana did something no other pitcher could do in Mets team history. Johan pitched a no hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals during an 8-0 New York Mets victory. Mets pitching greats such as Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden never reached the no hit feat. The baseball community definitely will be proud of Santana, especially with this being his 1st full season back, after missing all of the 2011 season with surgery. In moments like this during a Major League season, you never know if these type of nights spring a solid run for a team, for the remainder of the season. Thus far Major League Baseball has witness 3 no hitters in the 1st 3 months of the season, the 1st pitched in the National League.
