Cancer Survivor Gets First No-Hitter This Season

Jon Lester, a 24-year-old lefty playing for my boys (the Red Sox) just pitched the first no-hitter of the 2008 Major League season tonight against the Kansas City Royals (who last gave up a no-hitter to Nolan Ryan). Lester had survived cancer to pitch the World Series clincher for Boston last fall. I’ve been cheering for this young kid and tonight was great to see happen for him.
