Blast from the Past - Stieb's no hitter

my story behind this game - on the way to Montreal couples days prior to my first days of University listening to it with my Dad in the car who was a huge baseball/blue jay fan (I was able to scatter his ashes in the bullpen a few years later - he was well loved from the people that worked at the Ex and Sky Dome). Just as we hit Cornwall right about where this clip begins, we lose the station and find out later that he obviously completes what was then (and perhaps still is) a remarkable feet. Needless to say, we were both pissed about missing it live.

Brings back memories....

If that was espn classic telecast, I uploaded it but youtube took it off.

My memory of that game pales in contrast to my memory of his back to back soooooo close attempts.

Weren't those just crippling as a fan? I was a mere child and remember those.

I have that game on VHS!

My dad and I watch it at least once a year, I'd really like to see Doc toss a no-no one day but he can't seem to ever catch a break.

He almost did in his first game as a Jay, stupid homerun in the 9th...someone refresh my memory was it potentially a no-hitter or a perfect game (for some reason I think it was a perfect game, but I'm probably wrong)

[Luddo_Nadd]

In his first game as a Jay:

Sunday, September 20, 1998, 12:41-Start

Tropicana Field, Attendance: 32,183

Manager: Tim Johnson

Jays beat Tampa 7-1

Toronto Blue Jays IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA BF Pit-Str GB-FB GmSc IR-IS
............R Halladay 5 8 3 2 2 5 1 3.60 24 93-54 3-5 44 -

[OldNo7]

How does that make sense? 3 R, 2 ER, but we won 7-1?

[Luddo_Nadd]

Oops, my bad the game was actually 7-5 in favor of the jays.
