Congratulations Jon Lester


The Nats Blog would like to extend a congratulations to starting pitcher Jon Lester for completing the 18th no hitter in Boston Red Sox history. What makes Lester’s story even more incredible is that he is a cancer survivor, who this time two years ago was facing death, not Kansas City Royals, in the face. I can’t help but be reminded, as a former O’s fan, of seeing Eric Davis returning from cancer and witnessing the pain and great will power it took to do so. It’s great to see courageous young players like this in baseball, congratulations again, Jon.
