Congrats to Big Jon, as he retired today! An absolute iron horse on the mound, and the biggest free agent signing in the history of the Chicago Cubs. What a beast.
Throwing a no hitter with Manny in LF and Lugo at SS really is an accomplishment
@@samsepiol05590 He was.
@@samsepiol05590 Horrible
Thankfully there was Pedey and Youk
Manny was atrocious
And those boys made some great defensive plays, like Dallas Braden's it was just meant to be
This Red Sox team was so good. I'm a Yankees fan, but always a baseball fan first. This team was great for baseball
Always a baseball fan first, i love that man
Fourth no-hitter caught by Jason Varitek, too.
One of my top-five favorite modern Fenway moments.I think this was about a year or so after he underwent treatment for cancer and to see him share that hug with Tito at the end still makes me emotional.
I remember watching this game on tv and asking my dad why nobody was talking to him in the dugout because I had never watched anybody pitch a no hitter before, easily one of the top 10 reasons I was proud to be a sox fan over the years
That embrace between “Tito” and Lester always gets me!!!
Lester was almost like a son to Tito... after everything Lester had been through a couple seasons before with a stunning cancer diagnosis, it made them very close, so this no-hitter from Tito's perspective had to be like a proud parent watching someone who had grown up right in front of their eyes accomplish something extremely special as part of his continued comeback story. Can't help but tear up either watching that incredible moment between the two at the end of this
Imagine having Lester, Sale, and Price.
Branflakes1522 The Tigers once had Verlander, Scherzer, and Price lol
And Porcello and Sanchez (might not seem good but led the league in ERA in 2013 so, that’s not bad)
Sox wouldn't have Price if Lester stayed
I miss Lester. Still my favorite pitcher tho
No better feeling than throwing a no-hitter and the last pitch being a strikeout on a high heater, just magical
Tito, Lester, Youk, Pedey, Lowell, Manny, Papi, Coco, and young Ellsbury... Man what a trip back in time
As a Cubs fan, I love Jon...but I'm in awe...the no-hitter comes as no surprise, but I can't believe he threw to first on the first come-backer 😅
James K congrats on flying the w, from a Sox fan!
2008ilovemusic Thank you--maybe our teams will meet up in the Series next season!
James K Without theowing to the base and letting runners basically rape him when they are on base (i am a Cubs for life btw), i qm baffled he could throw a no hitter.
@@cool3929 Sorry to hear that ( that you're a Baby Bears fan).
What's amazing about this is the last pitch to get the final out was his hardest of the night (96 mph).
Man this takes me back. The Sox lineup back then was so legendary.
My brother was at this game and believe it or not he left the game in the sixth inning because the girl he went to the game with was complaining she was cold. I couldn't believe it when he told me. Every diehard fan dreams of seeing a no hitter, and here he walks out of one.
Funny thing is, this wasn't the first historic Sox game he walked out of. He also left Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS game against the Yankees (the Dave Roberts steal game).
I was watching the Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl with him at my house and when the Pats fell behind 28-3 I was kidding him, saying "I wish you were at the game so you could walk out, because then they'd come back for sure".
I didnt watch the Buchholz no hitter because I was on a date with a girl who never called me again. Still havent seen it beginning to end
He seems like an a hole
Boston fans miss you, Lester.
Nah
Happ Retirement Jon! You were a fan favorite for many years! ( maybe not to your opponents lol). Loved when you played for the Red Sox! ⚾
Man I lost my love for baseball tbh but I’m really getting back into and remembering all my favorite players from back in the day is awesome man Jon Lester and clay B were such legends to me back then always wished I was a lefty so I could be just like Lester great times man
I remember watching this when I was 13 years old. So damn cool, he was my favorite pitcher ever I hated when the Red Sox traded him. This game was awesome I have this newspaper
I want him back so much
Mike Lowell what a legend
Man!!! Lowell was such an asset for the Sox.
Wait. Did I see that right? Jon Lester fielded a ground ball?
and threw it to first baseman! and the glove still in his right hand(lol)
Hard to believe that this was almost 10 years ago now!!!! Definitely one of the best moments from the 2008 season in general. :)
That’s a young Jon Lester
Wish he never left Boston....
Said every Cardinals fan ever
Welcome to Chicago #Cubs4Life
As a Red Sox fan,I can say that we had a gem in Lester. I pray that he helps the Cubs break their Curse. Good luck this season. :)
Eric Lima I hope so too man...I've been waiting 30+ years (my Grandpa is STILL waiting, and he is 97 years old) I pray we win it within 2-3 years
They will,just keep doing like we Sox fans did in '04...keep the faith. :)
+Sean Hibbeler sorry about your Cubs ☹ they had a good season though
+Sean Hibbeler Jake Arrieta though.
Was in the bleachers for this one. Man I miss this team.
me too bro right near peski pole
He’s sooooo young. Man. I miss this moment
I am sooo glad he is on my beloved Cubbies!!!
First no hitter by a Boston Red Sox left handed pitcher in 63 years.
To this day, only Jon Lester and Nolan Ryan have thrown no-hitters against the Royals. Not bad company at all.
Only the second no hitter against the Royals in their history (Nolan Ryan, May 15th, 1973 vs the rookie George Brett).
This was his 1st no hitter after recovering from cancer
I threw a perfect game against them in MLB
one of my favorite red sox players of all time.
You don’t have to throw to first if no one ever reaches first
I miss Tito :(
My step brother was at this game
Same
i was there!!
5/18/08
Get ready for a no hitter Vs the blue jays tonight
May 20th 2021
His stuff seemed to get dirtier as the game went on
Date???
Huh, Lester made a perfect throw to first with no hesitation. Wonder what happened.
What year was this
it was back in 2008
JD didn't do anything all game
This was before he was in the bigs
Almost as good as his brother Moe
mjf2891 LOL
0:52 Isn’t that a hit?
Fielders choice
Why did Manny use steroids?
cant se bartolo Colón no hitter hahahahah
ORSILLO AND REMY ARE THE BESTTTTTTTTT
