In 1989, Langston was in a trade which sent him to Montreal and Randy Johnson to the Mariners.
In 1990, he pitched the first seven innings for a 2-0 combined no-hitter with Mike Witt. Witt, who had pitched a perfect game back in 1984, tossed the final two frames.
In the 1998 World Series, he served up Tino Martinez's Grand Slam in the seventh inning of Game 1 that gave the New York Yankees a 9-5 lead, and permanent momentum as the Yankees swept the San Diego Padres in four games.
Langston compiled a career 179-158 record with 2464 strikeouts and a 3.97 ERA in 2962.2 innings.
