trivia of the day
Q: How many major league pitchers threw no-hitters last year and who were they?
— retrosheet.org
A: Three by Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox, Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers and Clay Buchholz of the Boston Red Sox. It was the first time since 2001 that three pitchers threw a no-hitter in the same season.
fact of the day
The most no-hitters in one season came in 1884 when eight major league pitchers accomplished the feat. The last one came on Oct. 4 when Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Sam Kimber pitched 10 no-hit innings against the Toledo Blue Stockings. Although Kimber received a no-hitter for his effort, he did not get a win. The game was cancelled in the 11th Inning with the score tied 0-0 because of darkness.
