Nolan Ryan loses bid for second straight no-hitter
On June 6, 1975, Nolan Ryan came up short in a bid to throw his second straight no-hitter. Ryan held the Brewers hitless for 5 2/3 innings before Hank Aaron singled. Ryan had threw his fourth career no-hitter five days earlier. Ryan gives up one other hit in overpowering the Milwaukee Brewers, 6 – 0.
“If you going to give one up you might as well give it up to one of the greatest hitters of all time” in the Ryan rationalized to a mob of newsmen who jammed in front of his cubicle Then The Express turned humorist “Henry can look back on his career and say was the guy who broke up Nolan’s fifth no hitter”
