Lester Near Perfect

Jon Lester found out he had cancer in 2006.

He returns to pitching after beating cancer in 2007 & pitches the clinching Game 4 in the World Series against the Colorado Rockies.

In 2008 he pitches a no-hitter in May against the Kansas City Royals.

Now, in 2009, he flirts with a perfect game for 6-plus innings & throws a complete game 2-hitter against the heavy hitting Texas Rangers.

It's been quite a life for Jon Lester so far in his brief 20+ years on this earth. We are luck to have him in a Red Sox uniform, especially since he is a Yankee killer.
