Interesting fact about no hitters
So while taking a few minute break and clicking around, I came across an excellent website talking about how the Mets have had no no hitters in their 46 year history. The site updates every game and has a legitimate count of how many games the Mets have played without a no hitter (pretty cool that someone has the actual game count).
In any case, while clicking around nonohitter.com, I came across a very interesting fact. While it is common knowledge that the Mets, Rockies, Rays, and Padres have never had a no hitter, none of them hold the longest streak by a franchise without a no hitter. That record is actually held by the Philadelphia Phillies who went 57 seasons without a no hitter between 1907 and 1963.
Just another easy thing to use against those silly Phillies fans.
