No-hit artifacts to Hall of Fame

BOSTON -- The cleats that Jon Lester wore during his no-hit effort on Monday night will be heading for display at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

They won't be the only mementos from the special night that will be on the way to the Hall, though.

The no-hitter was the fourth caught by Jason Varitek, an all-time record. Several catchers had been behind the plate for three no-hitters, but Varitek has caught the gems tossed by Hideo Nomo, Derek Lowe, Clay Buchholz and now Lester.

Varitek will be sending the entire set of catching gear he wore Monday night for display in the Hall.
