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?
Bonus question: only two no-hitters were ever lost. Can you name the winning teams, losing teams and dates?
Extra bonus question: Everyone knows about Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series. Can you name the other two no-hitters in the postseason?
Alston #1 - 7
McGraw - 6
#3 is a Stanford alum.

I don't think he was a Stanford alum. If it's the manager I'm thinking of, he oversaw three no-hitters with two separate teams each. He had a scholarship to Holy Cross locked up, but then punched a teacher at his high school.
