The Royals haven't had a no-hitter pitched for them since Bret Saberhagen in 1991 and have only four in team history.

So it's no wonder that one of baseball's time-honored traditions is for family and friends to be sitting in the stands when a youngster debuts. I feel strong and I feel better than I ever have.He won't be the only player to make his big league debut this season. Just try to help this team win.
