Cancer Survivor Pitches No-Hitter

24 year young Boston Red Sox pitcher John Lester, who last fall pitched and won the deciding game of the 2007 World Series, pitched the first complete game of his career last night, and it was a no-hitter. It was the first no-hitter by a Sox lefthand pitcher since Mel Parnell did it in 1956!

Lester talks to the press after the game:

"Words can't describe it right now"
