The thing about a no-hitter is...
… a no-hitter is very difficult to come by. There are only so many no-hitters throughout baseball history, so no-hitters are clearly rare. The joy of seeing a no-hitter from start to finish is obviously marred when your team isn’t the one pitching the no-hitter. But everyone wishes their team, their guy could pitch a no-hitter sometime during their (the fan’s) lifetime. Because just about everything has to go right with a no-hitter.
No-hitter.
No-hitter.

VC just said it like 14 times in a row, how it’s a no hitter.
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
Vince just said it.
Are you guys glad he has chosen sides? I say it just means he’s a lousy announcer.
