MAKING HISTORY
Baseball fans have had only three opportunities to watch a no-hitter in the postseason, and just two of those occurred in the World Series. Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series and now the Houston Astros. Pretty special stuff considering this is the 118th World Series, and it's only happened twice. What's even more incredible is that Dusty Baker was in the visitor's dugout watching the only other postseason no-hitter, which Phillies' Roy Halladay threw against Baker's Reds in the 2010 NL Division series.
And to go a step further, Jeff Passan talks about being in the stands on June 25th at Yankee Stadium this season and watching Cristian Javier and the Astros combine to no-hit the Yankees. I have to say, I didn't think I would ever see Jeff Passan so happy talking about the Astros.
