Wilbur Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Crazy to think with all the great pitchers the Blue Jays have had over their history they've only had 1 no-hitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) 27 minutes ago, Wilbur said: Crazy to think with all the great pitchers the Blue Jays have had over their history they've only had 1 no-hitter. Dave Stieb- " He took a no-hitter into the ninth inning in a 1985 game; this bid was broken up by back-to-back home runs and Stieb was replaced in the game before he recorded an out in the ninth.[9] In 1988, he was a single strike away from a no-hitter in two successive starts, on September 24 against Cleveland and September 30 against Baltimore; both attempts were broken up on 2-2 counts by the 27th batter (Julio Franco and Jim Traber, respectively).[6] On August 4, 1989, he nearly had a perfect game, but it too was broken up with two outs in the ninth.[10] On September 2, 1990, he pitched the first (and, as of 2024, only) no-hitter in Blue Jays history, defeating the Cleveland Indians 3–0.[11] Going into the 1989, Stieb brought a scoreless streak to 34 straight innings, the longest such streak in franchise history, before giving up one run to the Royals on April 5, 1989." --------------------------------------------------- Francis is 28 years old, so has a few more years to try for the last 3 outs. I'm thinking he has spot, next year on the opening roster, as one of the 5 starting pitchers. Edited August 24 by Gurn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 11:05 this a.m. pacific; a chance to see a historical event. For the first time, in the 155 years of the league: a player, Danny Jensen, will play for both teams in a MLB game. A game that was delayed due to weather, will resume in the 2nd inning of play. Jays versus Red Sox, in Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounce000 Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Danny Jansen thing is the first time it's ever happened in pro sports, let alone the MLB. Other than Clarence Withers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) The MLB should make him finish his AB, in a Jays jersey. Then, at the top of the next inning, he can switch over to the Red Sox side. Edited August 26 by shiznak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Davis Schneider had 2 months, while on first base, to figure out if he should try; and he did steal second base. Also weird how if Wagner gets a hit- it becomes his first ever MLB, despite him playing for several weeks.- plus he had a hit in the minors when this game started- so a hit in minors and MLB on the same game day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Babe Ruth 'called shot' Yankees jersey fetches record $24M In perhaps the most anticipated sports memorabilia auction ever, the jersey worn by baseball legend Babe Ruth when he "called his shot" in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series has sold for $24.12 million with Heritage Auctions, setting an auction record for most expensive sports collectible. "This is essentially the Mona Lisa. It's s a very mythical moment that crosses over not only in baseball history, but American history, pop culture history," Ivy told ESPN. "We're still talking about it 100 years later, which is one of the reasons why I think it's the most significant piece of sports memorabilia in the world." https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40986619/babe-ruth-called-shot-yankees-jersey-fetches-record-24m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
