I remember Nolan Ryan pitching against my Brew Crew and had a no no going through 8 full innings. When he came out in the ninth, the crowd of about 3,500 was giving him a standing ovation and, wouldn't you know it, some bench player whose name escapes me leads off with a bloop single to left and was severely booed by the home crowd. He did end up with a 1 hitter in a 7-0 win.

Last year, me and my mom randomly decided to go to a Tigers game at the last second. We were only able to get some cheap bleacher tickets, but we figured it would be worthwhile.
As some of you can probably guess, it was the night that Verlander threw a no-hitter. I have to say, that it was easily the greatest moment I have ever experienced in sports. The stadium was so loud that you could barely think. I regret that I didn't have a camera at the time, so I couldn't commemorate it, except for the ticket stubs.

That's cool Rivals....i'm talkin' Majors, though.
Yeah I kinda figured that...but hey...who wouldn't take a chance to brag on themselves huh?? haha
On a sidenote, in the major's, I've never been to a game even close to a no-no, though I did see both Wood and Prior pitch in consecutive games in '03 when they were healthy and roaring in Cincy...plus, I was at the game when Farnsworth destroyed Paul Wilson with the huge "tackle" and beat the living daylights out of him...that was probably the highlight of all my MLB games I've been to....except my first time at Wrigley...nothing will EVER beat that

As many games as Ive been to at Dodger and Angels stadiums, Ive never even seen a game that was close. I guess the closest Ive ever been was a game between the Angels and Tigers that went 17 innings. I dont remember the pitchers, but it was like 1-1 in the 8th inning, when Downing comes up and hits a towering shot to Center, and Gary Pettis makes the greatest catch Ive ever seen(it gets played on Best Damn sports 50 greatest plays). Needless to say, we got to stay another 9 innings. Until that point, there was not alot of offense. Almost every other game I can remember was a blowout.

I saw Chris Bosio throw his no-hitter against the Red Sox at the kingdome back in '93.
It almost wasn't on the last out of the game, saved by a bare-handed play by the shortstop
I was also in Atlanta for Randy Johnson's perfect game against the Braves in '04. 13 strikeouts and just a dominating performance.
Mike Hampton had a complete game that day as well.

Not only did we get to see a no hitter but a perfect game. Sept. 16, 1988. I was working in downtown Cincinnati and had just got off work. The game between the Reds vs Dodgers had been delayed due to rain so I decided to go to the game. Little did I know Tom Browning would pitch a perfect game. It's a game I'll never forget.

I've been fortunate to see a few awesome pitching displays.
I was at Dwight Gooden's no hitter May 14th 1996. I remember in that game Gerald Williams robbed a young kid named Alex Rodriguez with a big drive to center in the first game. The game ended with Paul Sorrento hittting the highest pop up I have ever seen in my life
I was more fortunate to see David Wells' perfect game in 98 as well. I went to the game as a last minute thing, only because Wells was pitching, and someone backed out 90 mins before game time. He got to 3 balls once, to Paul Molitor in the 7th inning, and he hit a hot shot to Knoblauch, that he actually caught and made a strong throw to first on..........which might have been more shocking then the perfecta itself.

I was at Wrigley in September of 1995 to watch a "hometown hero" pitch for the Cardinals. Andy Benes was on the hill for St Louis that day and Frank Castillo for the Cubs. While Benes took the loss, it was a great game as Bernard Gilkey broke up Castillo's no hit bid with 2 outs in the ninth by crushing a triple to center field.
I still remember the air being let out of the stadium that day, if only for a short time. That was the closest I have come to history.

I've got a good one for PH - I was Heilman's near no hitter a few years back. I love bringing that up. Irrefutable evidence that Heilman is still a great prospect.
Oh, the best one I was at (never been to an actual no-no) was Mussina's in the playoffs, when Carl Everett broke it up with like... an out in the 9th? Or was it even 2? That was close enough for me. And god forbid the Mets ever get a no no... probably be the only other game Randolph wins all season, the way they look now.

My last year in college at DePaul University I had a loose schedule because I had completed nearly all of my in class work and was about to start my practice teaching. On my way home I always had to change from the EL to the bus on Addison. It was a cold, misty day and I didn't have to get home right away so I decided to stop in and see my Cubbies play. I bought a grandstand ticket and with the park not even 1/4th full on that weekday I picked out a nice seat under the upper deck directly behind home plate (so I wouldn't get rained on) and settled in for the game. Burt Hooten was on the mound and both teams looked like they were more interested in getting back to the dugout than trying to hit. I made the usual decision to tough it out and sat back as both pitchers were largely effective. The Cubs managed to scratch out a few runs while the Pirates kept putting up zeroes. I was frozen solid by the time the 7th inning came around as I only wore a thin coat that day. Still I was going to stay as long as the Pirates didn't have a hit. When the final out was recorded and Hooten had his no-hitter, I was equally releived that we had won and that I could get somewhere warm. By that time there had to be fewer than a 1000 people in the park.

I was at Kevin Millwoods no hitter in 2003 vs the Giants. It was a amazing day with the only run being a homerun by ricky ledee in the first and then to top it all off he made a game saving catch.Millwood then struck out barry baroid to get out of the 7th on a tailing fastball. It was a great day not to mention it was no hitter. He might have sucked with the Phillies but he gave me a moment ill never forget.

i was at the Dodgers/Astros game 2 or 3 weeks ago when Hiroki Kuroda had a no hitter in the 7th inning until freakin Hunter Pence broke it up. They proceeded to take out Kuroda since he was losing his control, and Broxton then gave up 6 runs in the 8th and we lost. HORRIBLE.

Awesome, 2/3 people that posted on this thread who were at David Wells' perfect game are non-Yankees fans! That seem odd to anyone else?!

I saw Bill Stoneman's no no against the Phillies at Shibe Park ( I refuse to call it Connie Mack Stadium) in '69. I can still hear my uncle swearing about being no-hit by an expansion team. I thought it was cool, and actually followed Stoneman's career. He no hit the Mets a few years later, not sure what year.
