Max Scherzer has thrown two no-hitters in his career, and the Washington Nationals pitcher saved momentos from both of them. His wife Erica doesn’t seem to have an appreciation for that.
On Wednesday, Scherzer tweeted a photo of what he claims was the jersey he wore during his second no-hitter stuffed in the trash. His wife apparently thought it was garbage.

How did Scherzer respond? By throwing some of his wife’s handbags in the trash.

The real question here is why Scherzer doesn’t have the no-hitter jerseys framed or tucked away somewhere safe. It’s been more than a year since he threw his second no-hitter, so you’d think he would have done something nice with the jersey by now.
As we have learned from exchanges like the one he had with Dusty Baker this season, Scherzer has a great sense of humor. Maybe he just wanted to make his wife look bad and set this whole thing up himself. Maybe.
