The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for May 2, 2012)

No hitters are a strange beast, aren't they?

The Padres and Mets have had multiple Cy Young winners and have historically played in pitchers parks. Yet those franchises have never had a pitcher throw a no hitter.

Meanwhile the Angels and the White Sox just keep throwing them. Phillip Humber got one after Mark Buehrle notched a few. And less than a year after Ervin Santana tossed one for the Angels, Jered Weaver became the 6th Angels pitcher to toss one.

This might have been more of what the doctor ordered for the Angels than a Pujols homer.

Let's update the list.

Mets and Padres... you are STILL on notice. 

The Nationals are KIND of on notice. When they were the Expos, they notched 4 of them and there have been several Washington Senators to do the trick.

But do us a favor, Nats. Throw one and have it be more cut and dry.

Congrats to Jered Weaver.
