AMERICAN LEAGUE NO-HITTERS
Every No-Hit Game Thrown in the American League |Baseball Almanac
Words alone cannot describe pitching's second highest "club" and still one of the most desirable goals — a no-hitter. These elusive gems are masterpieces of a career on the mound and a mystical feat that must be witnessed to be fully appreciated.
Tossing a complete game with no-hits are all that is required to join this elite group of American League pitchers. A group we here atBaseball Almanac truly appreciate and hold in the highest regard during a day and age when the home run is king.
"When I'm throwing good, I don't think there's a man in the world who can hit me." - Vida Blue
