Old timers might remember Ed Halicki, owner of a 55-66 record, who threw a no hitter. Most of the Giants' pitchers who threw no-hitters are very well recognized (Mathewson, Marquard, Hubbell, Rusie, Marichal, Wiltse, Tesreau, Barnes, LIncecum, Cain, Montefusco, Perry).
Who was the worst pitcher to ever throw a no-hitter? Who was the worst to throw a perfect game?
Conversely, who were the best pitchers to never throw a no-hitter (minimum, 200 wins)?
I was at the Ed Halicki no-no (v. the Mets). There was a controversial official scorer’s ruling on a ball hit to Felix Millian. He made a nice stop but couldn’t complete the play. It was close enough to rule an error.
Len Barker “worst” to throw a perfecto?
