29 Facts About Lester’s No-No

I think the most significant fact there is that the Royals were hitting .285 against lefties this year.  This fact will hopefully silence those who say a no-hitter against the Royals doesn't count. The Royals aren't that bad any more and the kid accomplished something incredible.

I don't think that no-hitters happen against real good hitting teams like the Yankees and the Red Sox anyway, so you'd have to discount most no-hitters if you said teams like the Royals didn't count.  Lester deserves all the credit that every other no-hitting pitcher has been given.

The Royals are terrible. Even with the .285 batting average, they still have difficulty scoring.  They're going to be a terrible team as long as the Glass family owns them. Siging Guillen ain't gonna cut it.

Lester usually takes 130 pitches to get through six innings. Awesome night though, congrats Jonny boy.
