It’s safe to say I have a bit of a unique perspective on Joe Musgrove’s historic no-hitter, or rather, the man who teamed up with him to make Padres history in Victor Caratini.
As a lifelong Cubs fan and someone who’s covered the Chicago-based ball club for a full decade now, I’ve seen a lot. I’ve seen 100+ loss seasons, a lengthy rebuild and a World Series title some waited their entire lives without witnessing. I’ve covered three no-hitters – two by Jake Arrieta and one by Alec Mills.
