Today, the Mets are in the midst of their 61st season, the 60th anniversary of their debut. Ten years ago, they marked the 50th anniversary with their first no-hitter, authored by Johan Santana against the St. Louis Cardinals.
At 134 pitches, Santana had completed the no-hitter, but he would not be the same pitcher after that. Injuries forced his departure from the Mets, and a comeback in Baltimore was aborted a couple of years later.
In the wake of the team's 2nd no-no, a combined effort against Philadelphia, Santana returned to Flushing Tuesday night, as the team is marking the anniversary during their series against Washington. You have to hope they don't wait 10 years for the next one.....
