On this day in 1986, I was in the car and listening to the Astros play the Giants. It turned out to be a great top of the 9th to catch on the radio. Mike Scott clinched the NL West by throwing a no-hitter against the Giants.
The 1986 Astros were indeed a great team and played a super exciting NLCS against the Mets. Game 6 was a classic.
Mike Scott won 88 games over a 5-year span in Houston. He retired with 124 wins but will always be remembered for that magical afternoon!
