NO-HAN! Let’s remember how New York Mets’ pitcher Johan Santana made history (+video)

Error 0:

In 2012, the New York Mets were celebrating their 50th birthday. Yes, the franchise has had some highs and lows, but two World Series titles and lots of good memories sure stole lots of smiles from people of all generations. In June 1 of that year, Venezuelan lefty Johan Santana made history, becoming the first player of the franchise to pitch a no-hit, no-run.

The achievement was noteworthy for a variety of reasons. First, it was a no-hitter! That has merit on itself. And second, the Mets were, together with the Padres, the only MLB franchise without such a game.
