It’s a busy day for no-no birthdays, with our wishes going out to Vern Kennedy and Clyde Shoun.
Kennedy, a Chicago White Sox pitcher born on this day in 1907, threw a no-no for against the Cleveland Indians at Comiskey Park on August 31, 1935.
The Cincinnati Reds’ Clyde Shoun, born in 1912, no-hit the Boston Braves at Crosley Field on May 15, 1944.
