The thing for Hill was that it wasn't just a no-hitter, it was a perfect game.
I saw a tweet tonight that said it's the first time since 1913 that a pitcher throwing a perfect game was yanked.
edit - sorry, not the first time, but the most innings apparently.
MLB Statistics @MLBRandomStats
Hill was removed from his start after 7 perfect innings.
The next most since 1913 is 5 perfect IP, by Norris last year and Knepper in 1986.
