Watch former Yankees farmhand Manny Barreda finish off a 138-pitch no-hitter
While you were laying at home, slowly digesting your 18th serving of pumpkin pie, you missed out on a no-hitter. That's right, November may be nearly over, but thanks to the Caribbean Winter Leagues, there is still plenty of baseball to be played. And on Saturday, Manny Barreda of the Caneros de los Mochis in the Mexican Winter League threw a 138-pitch no-hitter against the Naranjeros de Hermosillo.

Pinch-hitter Norberto Obeso apparently thought differently on one of those K's, if this "Exorcist"-like back-breaking display means anything:
