Albany, NY (June 1, 2012)
"I congratulate Johan Santana and the entire Mets organization for achieving a milestone in franchise history. The no-hitter thrown tonight by Johan truly demonstrates New York-style resilience and dedication, as after overcoming injuries and setbacks, Santana has put his name among the giants in baseball history. As a Queens native, born and raised, I congratulate Johan, manager Terry Collins, and the entire franchise on this landmark achievement."
