I think one of the things that makes baseball writing interesting are the things players and managers say... or don't say. So with that in mind....

Excitement reigns at the ballyard today as TEAMNAME hurler PITCHERNAME tosses a baseball rarity... a no-hitter. Congratulated by the team on the field and by the fans in the stands after the last out, PITCHERNAME was swamped by reporters in the clubhouse for post-game comments, where he remarked "I'm just glad to be here. I want to help the club any way I can. Today I just went right at the OPPONENT as hard as I could as long as I could." When asked for a comment on how this might bolster the club's race for the pennant, TEAMNAME manager said "We're going to take the season one game at a time, guys."

TEAMNAME PITCHERNAME enters an elite group today by tossing a no-hitter against OPPONENT.... superb performance, walking X and fanning Y. In the clubhouse, PITCHERNAME remarked "I was getting my offspeed stuff over so they couldn't sit on the fastball. Lets not forget I had some great plays made behind me today. All I can say is that I'm just glad to be here and I want to help the team any way I can." When asked if this might be a turning point for the club, spurring a dash for the pennant, TEAMNAME manager said "Baseball's a funny game, but if we stay healthy we should be right there." Time will tell, but TEAMNAME fans are saying its a sign the boys of summer are for real this summer.

PITCHERNAME demonstrated complete mastery of OPPONENT with a no-hitter, striking out X and walking Y. Though PITCHERNAME has a well-known rocky record with the fans and press, he felt such a occasion deserves comment. Stating simply "Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows I'm the greatest pitcher in the world." For those present who wondered how such a comment might effect the fans support, TEAMNAME manager said "Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them. PITCHERNAME tossed a masterpiece today and it ain't braggin' if you can back it up. Today he certainly did just that." TEAMNAME's catcher commented "His fastball looked about the size of a watermelon seed and it hissed at you as it passed."
