Number of no-hitters thrown in career.
Lester was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma toward the end of the 2006 season, and underwent six rounds of chemotherapy. He is now 14-4 in his short career. Including a no-hitter. Only two walks. Congratulations.

Is Roger Clemens related to Lester in some way? Not sure why he is mentioned.

At least that no-no wasn't thrown against me in the BBBL....
I had Clay Buchholz on my bench last year when he threw his no hitter....

Related as major league pitchers. And because as good as he was, Rajah never threw a major league no-hitter. He was never consistent enough, even within games, to do so. Not many remember that he nearly lost those 20-strikeout games because of all the hits he gave up between the K's.
Also because he's the epitome of free agent greediness. Tell us again, Rajah, how Toronto is the best place to bring up your kids and how the larger salary wasn't the biggest incentive for signing that contract with the Blue Jays. Or the one with the Yankees. Or the one with the Astros.

Clemens should've asked Mike Hampton about how excellent the Denver school system is....
