Zambrano No-Hitter

Carlos Zambrano, a pitcher playing for the Chicago Cubs, has thrown a no-hitter in a game against the Houston Astros on September 14, 2008. Because of Hurricane Ike, the game took place in Michigan instead of Texas. Zambrano kept his cool during the entire game, but after achieving the no-hitter exclaimed "I guess I'm back," kneeling on the ground and pointing with his hands at the sky. The crowd responded with a long standing ovation, singing "Let's go Z!".¹
