Mets scored 8 runs on 8 hits, 8 Ks for Santana, and the fan who ran on the field was wearing a Carter jersey....the kid was definitely watching over this game
My friends bailed on me last minute to go to that game and so I didn’t go, it’s been over 8 years and I haven’t spoke to them since. Missing this game will always hurt.
Lol Mets still looking for their first one pitcher no hitter since this game Beltran had a hit taken away, and the second one Mets used multiple pitchers.
Before this, no mets pitcher while they were still on the mets pitched a no-hitter; and sometimes it was almost cruel. Nolan Ryan (arguably one of the best starting pitchers EVER) started out with the Mets and went on to pitch an MLB record 7 No-Hitters after he left. Doc Gooden pitched a No-Hitter for the yankees in '96. David Cone went from the Mets to the Jays to the Royals to the Jays to the Yankees and while on the yankees pitched a perfect game. Tom Seaver left the mets in '77 and pitched a No-Hitter for Cincinnati in '78. John Maine went 7 2/3 innings not allowing a hit back in '07. Glad we finally got one #NoHan
8 Strikeouts/8 Hits/8 Runs/8th homestand game/134 pitch count = 8/251st no hitter in baseball = 8. Gary Carter died at age 57, Johan's jersey #. The fan who rushed the field and celebrated with the team was wearing a Carter 8 jersey. Gary had a hand in this. Thanks Kid. Love ya' forever.
watching this was the most surreal thing I've probably ever seen... my dad passed away march 2012 but its even more surreal too me because in mid december 2011 he told me when i was visiting him at nursing home, he said on june 1st johan santana is going to throw a no hitter.... fast forward to march, my dad dies... then fast forward to me watching the mets game on june 1st a month and a half later... thinking nothing of it till the 7th inning. then i realized my dad was right 6 months before it happened.
As a Twins fan, this makes me so happy. I also saw his record breaking strikeouts when he was a Twin in person. I also caught 7 balls that day as well. Best memory at the metrodome.
I remember I was in school and a friend had 4 free Mets tickets I had never been to a Mets game and he invited me. 6th inning everybody wanted to leave I told them "I'm staying you guys can leave idc I'm not missing this." They decided to stay and they always thank me.
Happy 10 year anniversary!! Johan Santana No-Hitter June 1, 2012 - June 1, 2022 I never saw him throws a No-hitter. But, this is really special moment.
I wont lie that should have been a time when the fans rushed the field. The best will ever get. No-han Santana Legends never die!!!! Pray you make the HALL, most class act player I've lived to see next to Tim Duncan. God bless you and your family
Man we went to the ballpark that day, did a little lap around the mets museum room but BOY were we in for something, by the 7th eeeevery pitch was like a crescendo of more tension, by the last inning i was pulling my hair out LOL, but it was mastery & i was there
"This has been a franchise known for its pitchers. From Seaver to Koosman to Gooden to Darling to Cohen and on and on and on. But it's taken until this day, June the 1st, 2012, for the Mets to have a pitcher throw a no-hitter. His name is Johan Santana. He had major shoulder surgery. He has come back to pitch, not only effectively in the majors, but to pitch...*pause*...a brilliant no-hit performance tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals." I mean, who paints a better picture than that? Gary Cohen is unbelievable.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that every player that was on that field or in the dugout for the Mets is no longer on the 40 man roster for the Mets.
The only one from this moment that is on 40 man roster now is pitcher Jeurys Familia. But that's only because we brought him back this year otherwise everyone else is gone
I always kind of felt bad in how the fan wearing the Gary Carter jersey was tackled to the ground by the Security at Citi Field. In 1961, the Yankees fan that jumped onto the field to shake Roger Maris's hand after hitting his 61 home run wasn't tackled. It's a shame how times have changed.
monkeyquest45 Following this no-hitter enormous structural damage plagued his elbow, forcing him on the DL. Complications have prevented his reemergence in the big leagues. Right now he is in the Blue Jays' system.
wiedep He was a four-time All-Star, won two Cy Young Awards and had a Triple Crown season six years before this - and all in the American League. Hardly a one-shot wonder.
Terry Collins does not know how to manage. He lets his pitchers command him. This one ruined the rest of santanas career.Always protect your pitchers esp Your ACE 138 pitches?? are you kidding me!! Then his Second mess up was when he let Matt Harvey Talk him out of him taken him out in World Series 9thinning. That basically cost him his job. He Babied his players. They Managed him!! His name is Terry thats a Girls name!!
