Earlier this week I wrote about the Mets having never had a pitcher throw a no-hitter. Today, R.A. Dickey took a no-hitter into the 7th. I was hoping I didn't jinx the no-hit futility streak.
Thanks to Shane Victorino's hit with one out in the 7th, the Mets no-hit streak stands at 7,963 games.
By the way, I vote for the Branch Rickey Award. It is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Denver and recognizes a player who is not only good on the field but more importantly a hero in the community. Each team has a nominee on the ballot.
I voted for Victorino this year and he was recently announced as the winner of the prestigious award. The Branch Rickey award dinner will be held in Denver on November 12th and Victorino is a most deserving winner.
