    No-hit pitchers who were also on the losing end of no-hitters

    This should pose as an interesting question...I came across the names of several no-hit pitchers who were also on the losing end of no-hit games. These include:

    *Bob Gibson (no-hit the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1971 and was on the losing end of Gaylord Perry's 1968 no-hitter)

    *Randy Johnson (pitched two no-hitters, one of which was a perfect game, and was on the losing end of Jose Jimenez's 1999 no-hitter)

    *Bo Belinsky (pitched one no-hitter and was on the losing end of Earl Wilson's no-hitter, both in 1962)

    *Sal Maglie no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies in 1956, and was the losing pitcher in Don Larsen's WS perfect game two weeks later

    This is only a partial list—I haven't had time to look up all of Retrosheet's no-hit listings, and even then they only have boxscores of the no-hitters from 1956 thru 2007.
    This is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball!

    Ken Johnson was a no-hit pitcher who was also on the losing end of a no-hitter . . .

I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

      David Cone came VERY close to becoming the only pitcher to both win and lose a perfect game......

      On September 2, 2001, Mike Mussina retired the first 26 Red Sox before Carl Everett lined a two-strike pitch to left-center for a single to end his bid for a perfect game, but Mussina retired the next hitter to win the game 1-0. The losing pitcher was David Cone, who had pitched a perfect game on July 18, 1999, against Montreal.

        Off the top of my head - does Haddix's extra-inning perfect game/loss count as an official no-hitter? I wouldn't think so.

            He threw a no-hitter, but was also on the losing end of it as he allowed runs but his team didn't score. There should be a guy from the Yanks around 1990 but the rules morons probably erased his no-no, Andy Hawkins?
