Last year I wrote a post where I had each most recent no hit game for each franchise. And with Francisco Liriano's gem tonight, that old post is now obsolete.
So dutifully, here is the updated list of each team's most recent no hitter.

Thanks! Great stuff. I actually was wondering about this when I heard about Liriano. Also what is the average frequency of no hitters for each franchise? I'm curious, but not enough to research it myself. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Senators from 1931 went on to become the Twins of today. Makes sense to consider their records as the same since you show the Expos and Nationals as the same.
