The Jays / Leafs Doubleheader

I tuned out of Blue Jays baseball when the Olympics started, and never tuned back in. It was a lousy team then, and at the trade deadline shed expiring contracts in more for a gaggle of prospects. But yesterday, I saw a tweet from FOTM BNS that Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis was pitching a no-hitter through six innings. That got my attention.

When Francis finished the seventh inning with his no-no in tact, I tuned in. There has only ever been one no-hitter thrown by a Blue Jays pitcher and that was Dave Stieb on September 2, 1990.
