I've only played a season and a half, but I hope it happens for me someday -- and not against me.

I did have a AAA pitcher throw a no-hitter in a game that obviously was simmed, not managed. I went to check the box scores like I do each day and I thought, "Cool, a shutout, and no help from the bullpen. ... Wait! ... They didn't get any hits against him!"

The guy had been in the bigs before and never performed (remotely) well enough to stick. And he still finished the AAA year only 8-6, 4.95. ... He was 2-3, 4.10 this season when I tossed him in as a "make this work now" guy in a trade with an expansion team. He's 0-4, 8.03 out of their bullpen.

Still, Sean O'Sullivan will always be remembered as the first player at any level of my Royals' franchise to throw a no-hitter.
