Catching Up on Some Fun Facts

Well as everyone can see the site hasn’t been to busy lately, I’ve been really busy with the end of school and some moving. The site should be back to the regular everyday posts from now on though. So be sure to come back and see the rest of the team identities, fun facts and other new posts!

Without further ado here is some fun facts.

On May 19th Jon Lester became only the second pitcher to no hit the Kansas City Royals. The Boston Red Sox have now had the last two no hitters in baseball, the last team to do that, the California Angels. When the Angels did it though both no hitters were thrown by Nolan Ryan, who is the only other pitcher to no hit the Kansas City Royals.

Jason Varitek now holds the record for catching the most no hitters with four. He could have had the record last year when Curt Shilling was just a few outs from a no hitter, but Shilling shook off Varitek and then gave up a single in the ninth.

Shawn Chacon before getting his first win this past week had gone eight starts without getting a decision. While he didn’t get the record for most consecutive starts without a decision (10) he did get the record for most to start a season. What makes this even more impressive is that out of the eight starts, six were quality starts and he averaged six and a third innings per outing.
