Call in sick or be late?

Want to watch Juan Nieves toss a no-hitter against the Orioles today? You don't need a time machine and you won't need to fire up the old VCR. Just head over here. I'm not sure if it's free, but it should be.

The story.

Back on April 15, 1987, Nieves, then only 22 years old and in his second year, continued cementing that fact when he fired the first -- and still the only -- no-hitter in Brewers history by blanking the Orioles.

Nieves, a Puerto Rico native, walked five batters and struck out seven as the Brewers beat Baltimore, 7-0, in front of just 11,407 at the Orioles' old Memorial Stadium to become the youngest pitcher to throw a no-hitter in nearly 15 years.

"Games like this can make a grown man cry," then-Brewers manager Tom Trebelhorn told the Associated Press after that game. "That's the greatest game I've ever been associated with."

This was a few days before the famous Easter Sunday game.

Why call in sick or be late? Because it's on at 9:00am CDT today.

Thanks to Brew Crew Ball for the tip.
