Mike Isles 583 Posted April 10, 2021 I could be wrong and it’s 4AM so I’m not looking it up. I think after Johan Santana threw a no no for Mets - Padres were last current team with no - no no ? No ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many ex Mets went on to no hitters elsewhere. In the likes of: Ryan Seaver Gooden Cone Cone and Gooden both with the Spankees but Gooden was worse to a Met fan as he was home grown Met. Our Ace.

Utilit99 4,099 Posted April 10, 2021 I guess there have been 10 catchers total in the majors that caught 2 no hitters in a row (no on else caught one in between those two). Victor Caritini is now the first catcher to catch two major league no hitters in a row with each being on different teams. Cubs last years and now the Padres.

GobbleDog 811 Posted April 10, 2021 Final score: San Diego 3 Texas 0 No lead changes. Barely any scoring... Texas doesn't even get a hit. Major League Baseball!!! It's awesome! How is this sport still around? I understand in the early 1900's when there's was nothing to do and people were starved for entertainment. But in 2021.?. I don't get it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted April 10, 2021 To me there is lots of stuff going on during a baseball game that its hard to keep up. But i used to sit in the stands and keep score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted April 10, 2021 The real issue with baseball is that it is a non-contact sport and people want to see athletes hit, punch and tackle each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utilit99 4,099 Posted April 10, 2021 To me, sports overall take a hit the more and more they talk about the personal lives of the players, their salaries, social views, and what they do in their free time. I feel the same way about movies and tv when I hear actors talk or get talked about. I'm know there are a couple interesting people in those jobs, but I'll sacrifice the interest in knowing more about them for not having to listen stories about the other 98% of the others who are idiots.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted April 10, 2021 There is very old video footage of elderly couples in the early 20th century. They sat around, talked about their lives for some time. Then at the end of the footage, all of them got up and started doing a waltz. See the thing is, when they were kids, a waltz was rebellious. Dancing up close to someone was scandalous. So kids in the 1800s loved it. They were rebels for waltzing. They organized secret dances and did things by their rules. What killed waltzing was that it became socially acceeptable and then became something adults taught kids. In their minds, adults were passing on the tradition of waltzing. But to kids, being forced to dance, get humiliated in front of their peers was a chore and a disgrace. So waltzing became incredibly lame and fell out of fashion. in the mid 20th century the same thing happened with square dancing. At first it was a rebellious thing kids organized. By the 1980s, it was socially acceptable and adults taught kids to square dance in gym class in school. That made it a chore and incredibly uncool. Square dancing died same thing for baseball. (And sports in general). Used to be that baseball was what you did after dinner in the streets, with friends, unsupervised until dark. Then adults got involved and forced kids into little leagues where they got shouted at by adults and humiliated. Pretty soon, baseball was uncool. And little leagues expanded to all sports. And increasingly kids find ALL sports uncool. people never change. They make the same Mistakes over and over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
