No Hitters

On September 28, 1974, Nolan Ryan of the California Angels pitches his third career no-hitter punching out 15 twins. He also walks eight to run his season total to 202 bases on balls, joining Bob Feller in 1938 as the only pitcher to walk more than 200 in a season. Ryan will again top 200 in 1977.

Ryan’s 4-0 shutdown of the Minnesota Twins puts him in elite company. Ryan joins Sandy Koufax, Bob Feller, Cy Young, Larry Corcoran, and Jim Maloney as the only pitchers with three or more no-hitters. Ryan will eventually pitch seven no-hitters…
