Questions:

The furthest-back no-hitter thrown by a currently active pitcher was tossed on May 12, 2001. Which pitcher threw it, recording seven strikeouts and, infamously, a record NINE walks?

Click to Reveal Answer
A.J. Burnett

In the modern era, only six pitchers have thrown two no-hitters with no other pitcher achieving one in between. One, obviously, was Johnny Vander Meer in 1938; the second was Nolan Ryan, who actually did it twice on his way to seven career no-hitters. Name any of the others – the first did it in Cleveland in 1908 and 1910, the second in New York in 1951, the third in Milwaukee in 1960 and 1961, and the fourth in Cincinnati in 2012 and 2013.

A June 12, 1970 no-hitter was all the more remarkable as the pitcher who threw it claimed to have been on LSD during the game. Which Pittsburgh Pirate threw this no-hitter?

Dock Ellis

A year and three months before striking out to finish Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter, this player also struck out to finish Josh Beckett’s no-hitter. Identify this infielder who played for the Phillies against the Dodgers in the first game, and for the Dodgers in the second.

On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth was ejected from a game after walking the first batter. Which Red Sox pitcher – who was also traded to the Yankees, a year before Ruth was – came into the game and retired the next 26 batters, a feat so impressive it was listed as a perfect game for years before being changed to, officially, a combined no-hitter?

Ernie Shore

On September 2, 1990, this man FINALLY threw a no-hitter, after taking one into the ninth and then losing it in 1985, twice in consecutive starts in 1988, and in 1989 (that one a potential perfect game). Identify this man who was the first –and to date only – Toronto Blue Jay to throw a no-hitter.

Dave Stieb

On May 6, 1953, this 30-year-old rookie threw a no-hitter in his first major league start, the only pitcher in the modern era to do so, but by late July he had been waived. Ironically, his last major league appearance came *before* that of the man whose nickname he had been given, even though he was 16 years younger. Name this pitcher who shared a nickname with Louis Norman Newsom and was one of just four men to throw a no-hitter as a St. Louis Brown.

On September 14, 2008, Carlos Zambrano no-hit the Houston Astros at Miller Park. What *specific* weather event caused the Chicago-Houston game to be played at a (theoretically) neutral site?

Since 1991, pitchers can only get credit for a no-hitter if they throw nine complete innings. Devern Hansack’s five no-hit innings on October 1, 2006 against Baltimore, then, constituted an official game but NOT an official no-hitter. Were it considered as such, it would have been the fifth no-hitter caught by what man, breaking a tie for most no-hitters caught that he shares with Carlos Ruiz?
