RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - BobK - 07-09-2023

In keeping with the no-hitter theme, there were only two pitchers who threw four no-nitters (or more). There were also only two catchers who caught four no-hitters?
Who were those pitchers and catchers?
J.T. Realmuto??
Koufax and Ryan are correct.
Catchers were Carlos Ruiz of the Phillies (both of Halladay's, Cole Hamels, and the Hamels/Diekman/Giles/Papelbon game, all between 2010 and 2015) and Jason Varitek of the Red SOx (Hideo Nomo, Derek Lowe, Clay Bucholz and Jon Lester, all between 2001 and 2008).

Horner, straight to MLB. Don’t think anyone has done that since. (David Clyde doesn’t count!).
Edit - not even close. There have been several since.

Hey Mick,
I got to the bottom of the issue regarding the number of no-hitters overseen by Leo Durocher. It was five. He was not the manager of the Dodgers in September 1948 when Rex Barney pitched his no-hitter. Durocher was fired by Brooklyn midway through the season.
Someone should correct Wikipedia’s Dodger no-hitter page….

Mickey Lolich?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - BobK - 07-11-2023
Bum won 2.
Yes on Gibson and Johnson.
This is a phogge special

How about Lolich?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - BobK - 07-11-2023
Yes Lolich in 1968.
The last two before 1968

Christy Mathewson. I believe all three were shutouts.
Oops. I didn’t notice the post-WW2 restriction.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - BobK - 07-11-2023
There are three Hall of Famers who won three world series games prior to 1945. Mathewson being one

Yeah, I remember a lot of talk about Mathewson’s accomplishments in 2014 when Bumgarner was pitching lights out.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - lex24 - 07-12-2023
Bum is an interesting case. The official scorer had the call on who got the win. He could have given it to Bum. Instead it went to Affeldt. Bum got a save. Not sure if any other pitcher has 2 wins and a save in WS.
Whitey Ford?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - BobK - 07-12-2023
Not Ford
One Milwaukee Braves
The other Enos Slaughter lead the team in HRs
