The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for June 13, 2012)



I took a few days off of blogging to take care of some non Sully Baseball matters.
It serves me right not blogging.
I missed a pair of no hitters. One a perfect game by one of the game's elite pitchers, Matt Cain.
Another a six pitcher marathon.

In a way, Kevin Millwood was diplomatic when he left the 1-0 no hitter with an injury.
Millwood threw a complete game no hitter for the Phillies on April 27, 2003.
Instead of throwing going all 9, his injuries forced him out of the June 8 game against the Dodgers.

What are the chances of Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Brandon League and Tom Wilhelmsen getting listed in the All Time No Hitter tally?

Slim. But they are there now.


Let's update the list.
