Have you ever attended a no-hitter?

[yanksphan]

Watching Gavin Floyd flirting with a no-no yet giving up an unearned run reminded me of the only no hitter I've witnessed live: AJ Burnett's 9 walk, 7 strikeout no-no vs the Padres.

Even though it was against the home team, Padre fans were cheering with each out of the 9th inning.

Anyone else seen one? Perhaps even a perfecto?

[4bronxbombers]

No but I hope I do before I die. Doubtful though.

[YankeePride1967]

I went to the game the day before both Wells and Cone's perfect games. Closest I came was, I believe in 1999, Ramiro Mendoza was perfect for 6 2/3 innings vs. Kansas City.

Man, that really shouldn't count.

Never seen one live.

[Mark19]

I saw Jorge DePaula pitch 7 innings of one-hit baseball

[THEBOSS84]

I was at that ALCS game 1 in 2004 where Moose was perfect for what was it? 6 innings?

That's the closest I've been.

[Casey37]

Yup. I was there on 07/04/83 for Dave Righetti's 4-0 no hitter against the RS, on George Steinbrenner's b'day no less. It just doesn't get any better than that.

[msw6880]

I was at Moose's 8 2/3 perfect innings game at Fenway.

[S2]

I was at Bronson Arroyo's perfect game in AAA in August of 2003.

edit: and Mussina's near perfect game in 2001 at Fenway.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Closest I came was David Wells in 98. Few starts after his perfect game, he was perfect again through like 7 2/3.

[TheGameEpisode2]

I went to Tom Glavine's 1 hitter against The Rockies at Shea. He had it until two outs in the eight inning, where a catchable ball went over Shane Spencer's head.

[Casey37]

I saw him pitch the other day, and he seems to have changed his pitching style somewhat. He wasn't raising his leg as much as he used to during the windup.

[dabomb2045]

I was at Gooden's. I was 15 years old, and my dad took myself and one of my good friends at the time.

Awesome experience to say the least

[In Mo I Trust]

I was at the Wells perfect game, it was amazing. My grandfather was at the Larsen perfect game. Unfortunately nobody in my family was at the Cone perfecto.

[Hooligan Tavarez]

I've been close a couple times

9/2/01: NYY @ BOS, Mussina's gets broken up with 2 outs in the 9th by Carl Everett. David Cone was also amazing.

4/11/07: SEA @ BOS, Felix Hernandez's gets broken up by J.D. Drew leading off the bottom of the 8th.

I just had to see Clay Buchholz pitch at Fenway so I went to his debut against the Angels. If only I waited until his second start...
)

[mgpenguin]

I saw a high school teammate throw one. Does that count? The game was crazy- there were a bunch of errors and he walked in a couple runs, but no hits.

[NYYfan24]

I saw Jorge DePaula pitch 7 innings of one-hit baseball

Was at this one also....plus I saw Baltimore's Daniel Cabrerra beat us 9/28/06. Cano broke up a no hitter in the 7th inning. The Yankees got one run in that game by Abreu reaching base on an error...then to second on a passed ball, then to third on a passed ball...then Abreu scored when Sheffield reached base on an error. Very strange game. They got one run...totally unearned.

[wexy]

I am in the Baseball Hall of Fame because of Dwight Gooden. I donated my ticket to the Hall of Fame . I went to Cooperstown in 97. They had a display of balls and tickets from recent no hitters. There was no ticket stub from the Gooden game. I save my stubs and asked the Hall if they needed it. They did and gave me a lifetime pass to the HOFand I nice certificate of donation. I also donated the ticket from the ALDS game when the Yankees hit back to back to back homers.

Being on the Sunday Plan I also was fortunate to have to seen both the Wells and Cone perfect games.

[BonusCantos]

Not a MLB no-no. I was working an NCAA softball game over a month ago, and there it was.

[yanksrule69]

I was at the game when 6 Astros no-hit the Yankees a few years ago. Unfortunately, that's the only no-hitter I've seen.

[philleotardo]

I saw Jamey Wright (Brewers/Rockies) pitch a no-no for 7 in a AA playoff game, but he was lifted, having walked 7 or 8. Bullpen blew the no-hitter.

[Snatch Catch]

No. And it's the only thing I am still waiting (wanting) to see at a baseball game.

Desperately wanting.

[montrealer]

Charlie Lea -Montreal Expos vs. S.F.Giants early 80`s in the second game of a double header.

David Palmer -Expos in a 5 inning rain-out . MLB then stripped him of his no-hitter years later saying that it must be a 9 inning game to be recognized.

So hey....guess that`s special.

Also saw Pete Rose get his 4,000th hit on Opening Day for the Expos Still in therapy over that signing.

[YClipper5]

I was at Jim Abbott's no-hitter, 9/4/93, I believe was the date.

Wow....that is awesome Rich!!

[allybear]

I was at David Cone's and will never forget it - I spent several innings trying to get my whole section to shut up about it because you're not supposed to mention it while it's happening.

Also, I remember a woman who also had Sunday tickets and who said her little daughter was six and had already been to two perfect games (1999 was the first year we had the tickets, so we missed Wells).

[Yankees13]

Never seen one, can't think of any near-misses either. I don't think I go to enough games to ever see one.

[yankswn23]

Yup several..up until the first hit.

I've never attended one and I have only seen the conclusion of one on TV twice (Buchholz and Verlander last year), but I have seen a perfect game or no-hitter get broken up in the 9th while watching on TV 5 or 6 times. (including Mussina's gem in 2001).

[Soriambi]

I've never even see a Yankee get close. A few innings at the most. I did, however, see Barry Zito throw 7 2/3 (I think) of no-hit ball against Texas at a game out in Oakland while I was on vacation. I also saw Lowe pitch a CG 2-hitter for LA.

[CallOfTheCrow]

The combined no-hitter Houston threw against the Yankees.

[Jeter Kid]

I think the closest I saw was Clemens tossing like 5 no hit innings vs. the Jays.

[Pinstripedbass]

I was at Jim Abbott's no-hitter, 9/4/93, I believe was the date.

That was the date. Spet. 4, 1993. And I was at that game as well.

Ally,

Nancy, Dave and I were there also. As I remember we were there because it was Yogi Berra's day.

The three of us were also at the Stadium on The Scooters day. That was when Seaver won his 300 th game for the White Sox.

Andy

[WashingtonYankee]

Almost. I think it was Lily's against the M's?

[philleotardo]

Almost. I think it was Lily's against the M's?

...which we lost.

[WashingtonYankee]

...which we lost.

Ok, it was.

Yeah, I know! I was so BUMMED! My Dad and I had a tear in our eyes cause we were hoping that he would have done it!

[JDPNYY]

I've seen pretty much every no hitter over the last 25 years. I did miss the Andy Hawkins game though... Didn't feel well that night.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

You missed out - Jim Leyritz put on a defensive show for the ages.

That's too cool man I plan on going to Cooperstown one weekend this summer. I'll have to remember that if I check out the display.

[AcidLake]

A week ago, I went to a 5 inning no-hitter (it was a mercy game since our team scored like, 14 by then) by the Junior Varsity pitcher of our school. That's the closest I can get

[In Mo I Trust]

I'm going in two weeks, I'll keep an eye out for the ticket.

[yanksphan]

Surely someone was there last night?

[DontHateOnNumber2]

Nope. I've never even been close to attending one. The least amount of hits I've seen in a game was probably 4.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Surely someone was there last night?

Indeed. I know I go to Royals @ Red Sox games all the time.

[yanksphan]

Could you imagine if the Yankees were so good they sold out games like this also?

*sigh*

When you're "stadium" has less than 40k seats, it's not hard to sell out.

Put it in the context of population per city and 55K should be easy too.

Don't forget there are two teams.
