I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop.
I did not want to leave the Mets and I did not want to leave New York.
The Mets have shown me more ways to lose than I even knew existed.
I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games.
I always had the attitude that I wanted to throw a no-hitter every game.
I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.
Only God knows why I didn't make it with the Mets, but yes, in a short period of time, I got the opportunity with the Phillies.
I've been in eleven no-hitters you know.
That no-hitter stuff was a long time ago; I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm just going through a tough time.
You never know when you're going to throw a no-hitter or if you're ever going to get the chance to do it. It's one of those deals where the ninth inning comes around; it's either going to be your night or just a complete game.
