Box Score of No Hitter by Warren Spahn

Who would have imagined that a forty-year old pitcher at the end of a hall of fame career would have taken the mound on a snowy thirty-eight degree night and tossed a truly sharp no-hitter.

"What is life, after all, but a challenge? And what better challenge can there be than the one between the pitcher and the hitter." - Warren Spahn
