Unbelievable. Rookie Clay Buchholz, Red Sox pitcher, 23 years old, just threw a no-hitter in only his second major league start. He's just the second pitcher to do it in his second start since 1900. First rookie to ever do it in a Red Sox uniform. Un-friggin' believable.
To put it in perspective, here are a few great pitchers who have never thrown a no-hitter:
Roger Clemens
Pedro Martinez
Mike Mussina
Curt Schilling
Josh Beckett
Greg Maddux
John Smoltz
Steve Carlton
Tom Glavine
Whitey Ford
Together, those guys have probably pitched in over 5000 games. Clay Buchholz has pitched in exactly two games, and he's thrown one. This is why I love baseball.
I've got goose bumps.
