Okay, folks, let’s dive into something I got hooked on today – Red Sox no-hitters. I kinda fell down a rabbit hole, and I figured, why not document my journey?
It all started pretty innocently. I was just messing around online, probably procrastinating on some actual work, and stumbled upon a random baseball stat. That led me to thinking about no-hitters, and then, naturally, about the Red Sox.
Digging Through the History
First, I just wanted a simple list. Like, “gimme the dates, gimme the pitchers.” So, I started with a basic search. You know, just typing in “Red Sox no-hitters” into the search bar. The usual suspects popped up – some big-name sites, and I clicked around a bit.
I found a couple of lists, but they weren’t all exactly the same. Some had slightly different info, which, you know, is the internet for you. So I decided I needed to cross-reference a few sources to make sure I was getting the real deal.
Compiling My Own List
After I felt like I had a pretty solid grasp on the facts, I opened up a simple text document. Nothing fancy, just a place to jot down my findings. I started typing out the dates and the pitchers, one by one.
I organized them chronologically, because, well, that just made sense to me. Oldest to newest. It’s like watching a history book unfold, right?
The Fun Part: Remembering the Games (or Wishing I Had!)
As I was compiling the list, some of the names and dates started to ring a bell. I vaguely remembered watching some of these games, or at least hearing about them on the news. Of course, some of them were way before my time, so those were more like, “Wow, that’s a cool piece of history!”
- Hideo Nomo.
- Derek Lowe.
- The recent ones.
Sharing My Little Project
And that’s pretty much it! I ended up with a nice little list of Red Sox no-hitters, all thanks to a random afternoon of internet surfing. I thought about doing other team, but I will keep it for next time.
So, yeah, that’s my story of how I spent a few hours geeking out over baseball history. Maybe it’s not the most exciting adventure, but it was fun for me, and I figured I’d share the process. Hope you enjoyed my little deep dive!
