"It was one of those special days, and I don't plan on doing it every time out, but it was a lot of fun. I noticed it in the fifth, but it was like, well, I still got four innings to go." - Kevin Millwood (April 27, 2003)

Prior to this no-hitter, Kevin Millwood's best pitching performance was a one-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 14, 1998.
The Atlanta Braves were charting pitches of their next opponent (the Houston Astros), but took a few moments to watch their former #4 pitcher:
"I saw the end of Kevin'sno-no. That was sensational. You know, he flirted with that a lot here, through five innings." - Braves Manager Bobby Cox
"I had a hard time watching our game. We had the Astros on, who we play next, and Millie throwing a no-hitter. That was cool. I really enjoyed it. I was probably more nervous than he was." - Braves Ace Greg Maddux
Did you know that the last Philadelphia Phillies pitcher to toss a no-hitter wasTommy Greene on May 23, 1991? Did you know that the only other no-hitter tossed in Veterans Stadium (2003 is its final season) was hurled by Terry Mulholland on August 15, 1990 (and it was also against the San Francisco Giants)?
