6. 5/19/2008: Jon Lester's No-Hitter
May 19, 2008
Kansas City Royals 0 at Boston Red Sox 7, F -- If only all the spectators and teammates who reveled in Jon Lester's magical Monday night at Fenway Park could have seen the way it started. Warming up in the bullpen with catcher Jason Varitek before the game, Lester, he admitted after the game, "had nothing." As it turns out, he knows a thing or two about perseverance. And on this night, he stayed the course to throw a no-hitter, the 18th Red Sox history. With each passing inning, his pitches became filthier and filthier. It all came to a jubilant end when the lefty blew a 94-mph heater -- his 130th pitch of the night -- by Alberto Callaspo. Just like that, the 7-0 victory was complete, so was Lester's no-no, not to mention the first complete game and the first shutout of his career.

May 18, 2004
Arizona Diamondbacks 2 at Atlanta Braves 0, F -- Firing 117 pitches while striking out 13, the 40-years-and-251-days-old Big Unit became the oldest pitcher ever to throw a Perfect Game. Fittingly, the final out came when Johnson blew a 98-mph fastball past pinch-hitter Eddie Perez.
7/18/99: David Cone's Perfect Game
4. 7/18/99: David Cone's Perfect Game
July 18, 1999
Montreal Expos 0 at New York Yankees 6, F -- It was Yogi Berra Day at Yankee Stadium, and Yogi caught the ceremonial first pitch from former batterymate Don Larsen before the game. Almost 43 years earlier, with Berra behind the plate, Larsen pitched a Perfect Game in the World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Fast-forward to that July day and it was -- as Berra might put it -- "déjà vu all over again."
9/4/93: Jim Abbott's No-Hitter
3. 9/4/93: Jim Abbott's No-Hitter
September 4, 1993
Cleveland Indians 0 at New York Yankees 4, F -- Folks always rooted for Jim Abbott, the one-handed lefty who wanted to be "like Nolan Ryan, not Pete Grey." On this cloudy day in the Bronx, a mere six days after a rough 10-hit, seven-run, 3 1/3 innings start against the same Cleveland Indians lineup, Jim Abbott turns it around for this no-no in Yankee Stadium. Nolan Ryan-like indeed.
8/26/91: Bret Saberhagen's No-Hitter
2. 8/26/91: Bret Saberhagen's No-Hitter
August 26, 1991
Chicago White Sox 0 at Kansas City Royals 7, F -- Bret Saberhagen, a 27-year-old right-hander, got a standing ovation from the crowd of 25,164 at Royals Stadium when he took the mound to start the ninth. Twice a Cy Young Award winner and recipient of the 1985 World Series MVP, Saberhagen had never before come close to a no-no. Saberhagen, who walked two and faced 30 batters in the game, had one out in the fifth inning when left-handed-hitting White Sox right fielder Dan Pasqua hit a line drive to left field on which Kirk Gibson got a late jump. The left fielder ran back on an angle toward center field, jumped at the last moment at the front edge of the warning track and had the ball tip his glove and fall off, allowing Pasqua to reach second base. The scoreboard immediately flashed a hit but the official scorer, after watching replays, ruled it a two-base error. The call remained, and Saberhagen was near-perfect thereafter, and the fourth no-hitter in Royals history was his.
9/16/78: Tom Seaver's No-Hitter
1. 9/16/78: Tom Seaver's No-Hitter
June 16, 1978
St. Louis Cardinals 0 at Cincinnati Reds 4, F -- On any given night in his career, Tom Seaver could be virtually unhittable. Three times he had taken a no-hitter into the ninth inning, and five times he finished a game with only one hit allowed. Yet for all his accomplishments, the Cooperstown-bound hurler was unable to bag his own personal white whale in the form of a complete game no-no. All of that changed on one night in the middle of June.
