On April 14, 1967  – On opening day Boston Red Sox rookie pitcher Billy Rohr makes a memorable debut by no-hitting the New York Yankees for eight and two-thirds innings. Elston Howard spoils Rohr’s masterpiece with full count two-out single in the 9th, but the Red Sox still win, 3 – 0. Despite his impressive debut, Rohr will win only two more games in his major league career.

A heartbroken six year-old fan sitting near the Boston dugout named John has to be consoled by his mother, Jackie Kennedy, although his beloved Red Sox beat the Bronx Bombers, 3-0.
