Johan Santana tossed the first no-hitter in the New York Mets' 51-season history Friday evening.
The accomplishment helps define a franchise. The Mets have had great pitchers: Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Jon Matlack, Dwight Gooden, Bob Ojeda, Sid Fernandez, Ron Darling, David Cone, Bret Saberhagen, Al Leiter, Mike Hampton, Pedro Martinez, even young prospects who flirted with no-hitters like Octavio Dotel. But none finished what Johan Santana started and completed tonight.
