  • No-Nos and Perfectos

    A trivia thread dedicated to two of pitching's hardest feats; the no-hitter and (even more difficult) the perfect game. I will start with a couple of questions and hopefully others will join in with questions.

    1) From the midseason of 1909 to the midseason of 1970, whcih famous ballpark did not experience a no-hitter?
    2)which expansion team of 1969 is the only to still be on a no-hitter drought?
    3)Who threw the first no hitter at the standard 60'6" spot?
    4) Who has thrown the fewest pitches for a perfect game and how many?
    5) Who was the last pitcher to ahve his perfecto blown on the 27th batter?

              88. Didn't Addie Joss have less, though? Do we know all 17 pitch counts for the perfect games?
