Santa Marina! Buccs Kickoff Return Takes Them Off Dubious List

With Tampa Bay's Michael Spurlock returning the first ever kickoff return for a touchdown in Buccaneers' history, it takes them off of one of sport's dubious lists of 'never dones'. It was worth 32 years of the inability to do so just to hear the announcer yell SANTA MARIA!

Now the weirdest stat is the fact that no New York Mets pitcher has ever pitched a no-hitter in the 46 years the franchise has been inexistence (the Padres haven't gotten one in in their 39 year history). The Florida Marlins have been around 15 seasons and have four of them. Guys like Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Doc Gooden, David Cone, Hideo Nomo and Al Leiter are all former Mets that have thrown no hitters elsewhere.

Another oddity is Clemson basketball is 0-52 lifetime against North Carolina in Chapel Hill. If you know any more of them, please leave them in the comments section.
