While he fights COVID in a Raleigh ICU, he just watched John Means toss the O’s first no-hitter since 1969.

The video is awesome, Josh's dad filmed himself in tears while watching Means celebrate his incredible game.
In the clip, Josh's dad continuously praised Means for the effort ... saying several times out loud, "He did it!" and "Thank God!"
Means was RIDICULOUS against the Mariners on Wednesday ... he struck out 12 batters in the complete-game shutout -- logging the first no-no for the Orioles in 52 years.
And, the game clearly inspired Josh's father ... 'cause Josh said it brightened up the guy's day and recovery process for sure.
Update on dad:

After Means’ no-no, he’s been talking trash with his doctor, a Yankee fan, and showing off his Orioles mask this morning.
He’s been overwhelmed by the amount of reaction and support he’s seen on social media.
