No-No? Yes, Yes!
Two years ago, Jon Lester was a promising young pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. But late in the season, he was diagnosed with a rare form of non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
Just six months later, after several rounds of chemo, I saw him at spring training, working out with the minor leaguers... and he looked great. Only a little more than a year after his diagnosis, he pitched the World Series clincher for the Red Sox.
Tonight, I caught something even cooler-- flipping to ESPN just in time to see him cap off a no-hitter for the BoSox at Fenway Park. Yeah, no-hitters are always pretty special... but this one definitely felt a little more significant.
Stumble It!
