Baseball is easily the most romantic sport there is. When I say that, I don’t mean romantic in the usual way it’s used. I’m using it more in reference to how fondly we remember what happens within the game and its history. One of the greatest feats that can be accomplished by a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter. This is something the Red Sox got very familiar with during the early parts of the 2000s.
Over the span of eight years, the Red Sox pitching staff threw an impressive four no-hitters. To put that into perspective, Boston went 36 years in between no-nos.
