"He's ( Nolan Ryan [Major League record holder for no hitters during a career]) baseball's exorcist, scares the devil out of you." - Detroit Tigers Outfielder Dick Sharon in Baseball Digest (March 1995, Wayne Stewart, 'Intimidation Helps Pitchers Psyche Out the Batters', Page 69)

On June 11, 1938, Johnny Vander Meer pitched a no hitter. During his next start, June 15, 1938, he pitched another no hitter becoming the first and only pitcher to ever throw consecutive no hitters.

Did you know that the Philadelphia Phillies hold the Major League team record for longest time span (fifty-seven seasons) between no hit games?

EVERY single American League, National League, Union Association, and American Association no hitter are listed on Baseball Almanac's pitching menu.
