Javier Baez was already celebrating when he fielded the ball. The shortstop for the Chicago Cubs gathered himself, threw to first, and gave Alec Mills the second no-hitter of this pandemic-shortened baseball season.

There weren’t any fans in attendance, and there wasn’t an asterisk in sight.

Baez made it clear after the game that he planned to savor the moment forever, regardless of the unusual circumstances.

“This is something we’ll be part of for life,” he told reporters. “Like a championship-type thing. No one can take it from you.”
