Congratulations to former Mohawk Valley DiamondDawg John Means, who on Wednesday tossed a no-hitter for the Baltimore Orioles, and narrowly missed the rarest of the rare, a perfect game.
Means, who spent one summer in Herkimer County as member of the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs, retired all 27 Seattle Mariners he faced in Wednesday s game, a 6-0 Orioles win, and the first individual no-hitter for the O s in over 50 years!.
A couple of follow up notes on the above sentence. First off, Means would have hurled a perfect game had it not been for a wild pitch. He actually struck out Sam Haggerty in the third-inning, but that third strike got away from the catcher, allowing Haggerty to advance to first base. Soon after, he was thrown out trying to steal second, which is how Means was able to face the nine-inning minimum of 27 batters. Had that third strike not gotten away , it would have been a perfect game, something that s only been done 23 times in MLB history.

Clymer, established as a town in 1821, is now 200 years old.
Throughout the years of Clymer’s history, town records express the evolution from a wilderness settlement into the small town that it is today. The first annual meeting, held in the home of Gardner Cleveland, showcases how much has changed.
Along with town officers being elected, like Andrew Nobles as town supervisor, the resolutions of this meeting show just how much has changed since its establishment.
