Babe Ruth corked his bat?!!*

Jock Drama

Jonathan Sanchez pitched a no-hitter last night for the San Francisco Giants. Ironically enough, he missed out on a perfect game when Juan Uribe, who had been moved to third base as a defensive replacement for Pablo Sandoval, bobbled a relatively easy grounder and allowed the only San Diego runner of the night to reach base. First no-hitter by a Giants pitcher in 33 years.

Bravo.
