      1962 expansion teams, total no-hitters

      Astros 12
      Mets 0*

      * - they list the one by Johan Santana where he allowed a double to Carlos Beltran, but - three-blind-mice umpire aside - I'm pretty sure you can't allow a double and really pitch a no-hitter.

        Last I checked — and I say this as a Mets fan — the Astros were a well-run team and the Mets were not.

          Both teams made the WS in the last five years.

          The real point is that the Mets allowed Nolan Ryan to leave. Though he only pitched one for Houston, the first four could have been in New York.

            Oh the irony - this was the same day that Derek Fisher - the guy traded for Sanchez et al - had to go to the hospital as he was hit in face by a routine fly ball.
            It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

              Verlander whiffs the Toronto side in the 8th -13 K and a no-no with 3 outs to go

              guy named Toro hits a 2-run HR with 2 outs in the top of the 9th to break a scoreless tie - then cleanly fields the last-out grounder.

              Verlander the 6th pitcher with at least 3 no-hitters - his second one in Toronto. no one else has more than one no-no in the same visiting park

                  I got Corcoran - 5-foot-3, 127 pounds - in the end-game of my 1880 draft, and he carried me to the pennant: 43-14, 1.95 ERA, 268 K in 536 IP at age 20.


                  he went 170-83 in his first five years, pitching 2279 innings. then he got a sore arm, for some reason

                  then he drank himself to death and died at age 32

                    Does what he has done this year make Verlander a lock for the Hall of Fame?

                      I think he's a lock. 3 frreaking no hitters to go along with what else he has accomplished? He's a slam dunk IMO.

                          I think the 36 year old Verlander was already a lock for the HOF. He now needs 37 K's for 3,000 in his career and has a good shot at 3,500 and an outside shot at 4,000. With 221 career wins now, he will probably get 250 easily. If he pitches beyond age 40 he could have a chance at 300 career wins.

                            That boat has sailed. The question of first round is rapidly fading.
