A No-Hitter in Motown

Just in case any of you missed it last night,
Justin Verlander
, Rookie of the Year for 2006, Pitched a NO-HITTER at Comerica Park last night.
The last Tiger to pitch a No-No was Jack Morris in 1984 and he did it on the road, the last No-No pitched in Detroit was by Virgil Trucks way back in 1952 at Briggs Stadium, Cathy was about three months old then.
It only took Verlander 110 pitches to complete the game, his 109th pitch was a fastball, 102 MPH.

Now the reason this NO-HITTER is so historic is that Don, Suz, Nick & Rachel were at the game to bring the luck of the Squiers to help Verlander out. One of Suz's clients gave her tickets for a game in April but Nick had a game that night so he told her she could have the tickets for this game instead, Nick was a little upset because the other tickes were for the White Soxs and he didn't want to see Milwaukee. Bet he's glad he saw them know.
