The author is making a baseball journey, going from park to park and sleeping in his car. And he has the dumb luck of being at Fenway last night for Lester's no hitter. It's a good firsthand account. [link]

    That is some great, dumb luck. Must make the trip worth it.

    It was an incredible night at Fenway.  Jon Lester is an amazing story and now Tek's caught 4 no-hitters, perhaps he's worth even more than 10 million a year.

    I very unfortunately went to the game last night (Tuesday) and am also going tonight (Wednesday).  I missed it by one game!  It was just a tremendous night for everyone and there's no way you can say that a no-hitter against KC doesn't count.

    I am happy for Lester--it is a great moral about never giving up.
