Happy 77th birthday to Gaylord Perry, who threw a no-hitter for the San Francisco Giants in 1968.
Perry on Tuesday, September 17, 1968, no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals at Candlestick Park for a 1-0 victory. The Giants’ celebration was short-lived, as the Cards’ Ray Washburn no-hit the Giants for a 2-0 win the very next night.
