The first pitcher to throw three no-hitters was Larry Corcoran, who did it in the 1880s. Since then, five pitchers have thrown three or more no-hitters. Who are they?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-16-2023
Nolan Ryan
Bob Feller

Wild guess
Roger Clemens (I don't think he has any)
Greg Maddux???
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-16-2023

Not Clemens or Maddux.
(05-16-2023, 12:45 PM)BobK Wrote: Guess the old stand by Cy Young
Correct, Cy Young had 3 no-hitters.
Nolan Ryan - 7
Sandy Koufax - 4
Cy Young - 3
Bob Feller - 3
That leaves one more pitcher with 3 no-hitters.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 05-16-2023
A couple of questions, one a Phogge special.
Who am I? I finished 12th in MVP voting my rookie year and second in the NL Rookie of the Year balloting. The following January, I was arrested for exposing myself to some young girls, served probation and was allowed to rejoin my club in Mid Summer. I had a seven year MLB career.
Which team has the longest current streak of not being no hit?
(I promise, there is an interesting story in conjunction with the first one)

For the first, was it a Dodger or a Yankee?
For the second, my guess is the Dodgers or the Yankees.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 05-16-2023
Not a Yankee or a Dodger.
Not the Yankees or the Dodgers.
Hints.

How about Carlton or Schmidt? i'd go with Carlton, simply because I watched him hit a grand slam off Fernando at Chavez Ravine. Was with another No Cal friend and we both were rooting against the Dodgers, quite vociferously. If we behaved that way today, we'd get attacked. . . .
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - PAsportsfan - 05-17-2023
Schmidt correct!
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - skip75 - 05-17-2023
Whiz Kids - Robin Roberts, Jim Konstanty, Richie Ashburn
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-17-2023
Grover Cleveland Alexander is the greatest
Willie “Puddinhead” Jones a whiz kid
In Philly about 1992 with family kids young so we took a carriage ride. The driver a young woman. She asked any questions I said why did Phillie Fans boo Del Ennis so much. Of course like many here she had no clue who he was but maybe their best player late 50s but boo’d when He didn’t get a hit every at bat
In the Phillie pennant wining year 1950 Ennis lead the NL in RBIs. A great whiz kid
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 05-17-2023
Ed Bouchee was the player. Interesting article on how the Phillies, the league, and Bouchee himself handled it; in my opinion, all acquitted themselves well.

Guesses on the team that hasn't been no hit for nearly 32 years?
