[edit] Error in AP article on Sanchez no-hitter
The AP article is saying that the gap between today's Sanchez no-hitter and the last no-hitter, Randy Johnson's in 2004, is the longest ever. That is not the case. Baseball went a full three years, 1931-34, without a no-hitter.Vidor 06:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- I believe they are only counting "no-hitters" and not perfect games. The last game that was only a no-hitter was on 06/11/03. Either way, I think the article is now correct. -- dakern74 (talk) 02:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- OK, looked at the article again, and it is talking about most GAMES between no-hitters, not days. They went three years 1931-34, that's true, but that was when MLB had only sixteen teams and thus only eight games a day. Now they have thirty teams, and thus fifteen games a day. Is that the better measure? Vidor 06:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Did you see the sunrise?
I didn't notice who had the earliest no-hitter. So who was it? And whose record did he beat? Thomas Magnum 16:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- The first no-hitter listed in the MLB record book was by George Bradley on 07/15/1876. The distance between the pitcher's mound and home plate changed several times back then; the first one with the current 60½-foot dimensions was by Bill Hawke on 08/16/1893. Hope this helps. -- dakern74 (talk) 04:36, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stolen bases
I removed the following sentence:
-
- Furthermore, he pitched that seventh no-hitter on the same day Rickey Henderson stole his 939th career base, passing Lou Brock for the all-time record.
This tidbit didn't seem to have anything to do with no-hitters or with Nolan Ryan, especially not following the word "Furthermore". Ufwuct 20:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I disagree (and I'm the one who added it) because I thought it was too great of a concidence not to include.
[edit] Nats / Expos
I undid the piped link insterted by User:MrHaroldG2000 so that it leads to the Expos, not the Nationals; we're talking about 1969, and the whole emphasis of that line is about how the Expos were a new franchise. Makes more sense this way.
