Already baseball fans have witnessed at least 1 no-hitter this season. The Tigers' Justin Verlander has already achieved this feat a few weeks ago. The 20-something rising star pitcher has a bright future in Detroit. In other close instances, Curt Schilling came within 1 out of tossing a no-hitter while Minnesota's Johan Santana went 7 innings in one start before giving up a base hit.
It's becoming more of a rarity for pitchers to throw perfect games and no-hitters. They're got so much more pressure and attention on them rather than sluggers shooting for the hit cycle or 3 homers in a game. I think no-hitters are tougher to achieve than teams who go on 15-20 game win streaks because only one player (for the most part) has control of the turn of the events in a game.
One star pitcher in particular that could very well be off a near perfect performance is Ben Sheets. He can be so dominating in starts that opponents don't have much a chance at the plate. The same goes for Carlos Zambrano, Dontrelle Willis, and Roy Halladay. These guys are more than capable of shutouts and put goose eggs across the scoreboard. I anticipate another no-hitter (possibly perfect game) before the season ends. It could turn out to be an unlikely lesser known player too.

I personally am against this, and I do not think it should be allowed without the consent of the authorities.
