The New York Mets get their first no-hitter after fifty years.
The New York Mets finally get their first no-hitter, after fifty years.
Until the 1994 baseball strike I was a big baseball fan and an even bigger Met fan. Kudos to Johan Santana for beating out Hall of Famers Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan as the first Met to do it.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Finally something Robert and I have in common.
Once upon a time you had to leave the Mets to throw a no hitter: Seaver, Cone, Gooden, Humber, and Ryan (7 times for him, no less).
As Howie Rose says, put it in the books.
A great day for all of us “long suffering…”
