The Internet reacts to one of the greatest pitching performances in major-league history
The Man Himself
Don't know if this will ever sink in. What an amazing night. Thankful to celebrate with the fans in LA.
— Clayton Kershaw (@ClaytonKersh22) June 19, 2014Vin Scully is half the fun
"Now if you don't mind I am going to sit back and watch with you." - Vin Scully. #icon
— MLB (@MLB) June 19, 2014Now 20 no-hitters that Vin Scully has called. 20. Incredible.
— Kenny Ducey (@KennyDucey) June 19, 2014Clayton's curve and Vin's voice. A match made in baseball heaven.
— Jordan Bastian (@MLBastian) June 19, 2014Vin Scully is not great because he’s 86 and has done this a long time. He’s just flat-out great.
— Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) June 19, 2014Not to be a hipster, but I prefer Vin Scully calling no-hitlers. http://t.co/SDszZqMhDb
— Grant Brisbee (@mccoveychron) June 19, 2014I have only been watching since the 6th. But Scully is having almost as flawless a game as Kershaw. Every word, like every pitch, artistic.
— Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES) June 19, 2014"Since we don't believe in superstition, our job is to give you information." -Scully, sensible as always, talking freely about a no-hitter.
— Tyler Kepner (@TylerKepner) June 19, 2014Vin Scully, in the elevator to Ellen Kershaw, Clayton's wife: "So, Ellen. What's new?"
— Everett Cook (@everettcook) June 19, 2014The Impossible Clayton Kershaw
Did Play Index start to smoke? // RT @mike_petriello: So far as I can tell, no one has ever whiffed 15 with 0 hits 0 walks. Ever. EVER.

— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) June 19, 2014No-hitters are baseball magic -- even better than the postseason. A random Wednesday in June becomes historic. Love this sport.
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) June 19, 2014Kershaw + Scully = As good as it gets. #dodgers#stillperfectnight
— David Lennon (@DPLennon) June 19, 2014I love that California is so progressive with its laws, because that curveball is illegal in 49 other states.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) June 19, 20149 innings, 0 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 15 strikeouts and basically 28 outs. I'm just gonna go ahead and call that a perfect game.
— Alden Gonzalez (@Alden_Gonzalez) June 19, 2014Kershaw the Wonderful, Humble, Saintly... You Know
Kershaw is as humble as any superstar I've covered... Didn't see every pitch but noticed that 12-6 curveball was back. Had relied on slider
— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) June 19, 201415Ks and the no hitter. Couldn't happen to better fella. Had Rockies completely in submission
— Evan Grant (@Evan_P_Grant) June 19, 2014.@ClaytonKersh22 and his wife @ellenkershaw celebrate the lefty’s first career no-hitter. pic.twitter.com/thWAxOdvOa

"Hey, how about that Clayton Kershaw? Now there's a story." --Dan Snyder
— Adam Kilgore (@AdamKilgoreWP) June 19, 2014The Bloggers React
Clayton Kershaw, 192 starts, ONE no-hitter
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) June 19, 2014Best parts of my night: calling my dad in the sixth to make sure he's watching. Calling him in the 9th to discuss it.
— Craig Goldstein (@cdgoldstein) June 19, 2014I JUST WITNESSED A NO-HITTER.
— Dodgers Nation (@DodgersNation) June 19, 2014Yah! pic.twitter.com/KoiJHzOUWg
— Dodger Insider (@DodgerInsider) June 19, 2014I'm glad Kershaw is on our side
— Dodger Baseball (@DodgerBaseball_) June 19, 2014Congratulations on a great feat by a great guy. Even an #sfgiants fan would be moved watching Mrs. Kershaw cry in his arms. #dodgers.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) June 19, 2014The Players
