Roy Halladay Throws No-Hitter

Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies threw only the second post season no-hitter in baseball history today when beat the Cincinnati Reds.
From ESPN: "Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Wednesday.
"It's surreal, it really is," Halladay said. "I just wanted to pitch here, to pitch in the postseason. To go out and have a game like that, it's a dream come true."
Don Larsen is the only other pitcher to throw a postseason no-hitter. He tossed a perfect game for the
New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series against Brooklyn. The 54th anniversary of Larsen's gem is this Friday."

Halladay also threw a perfect game earlier this year.
Halladay is one of the best pitchers in the game today and it's nice to see a good guy throw a no hitter.

  1. A lot of people were curious to see how Halladay would perform in his post-season, and he comes out with only the 2nd no-hitter in the history of baseball in the playoffs. The Phillies have an absolutely dominant rotation of three #1 starters, and Halladay vs Lee would be a great matchup in the World Series.
