Max Scherzer has accomplished a lot of great things during his career. He’s thrown two no-hitters. He’s also struck out 20 batters in a game. With so many great moments, it’s hard to remember the specific details from each. That struggle nearly resulted in Scherzer’s jersey from his second no-hitter ending up at the garbage dump.

Ooops.
Scherzer wore that jersey the day he became just the fifth pitcher in history to throw two no-hitters in the same season. It’s a piece of baseball history, and it was sent to the garbage.
Scherzer’s wife Erica had a good reason for throwing it away, however. She was sorting through memorabilia and came across a jersey that had seen better days, not knowing it was one of the no-hitter jerseys.
That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. A jersey that important should probably be framed or in Cooperstown or something. The logic apparently wasn’t good enough for Max.
