The San Francisco Giants’ Gaylord Perry and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Hideo Nomo threw no-hitters on this date.

Forty-seven years ago today, on Tuesday, September 17, 1968, Perry out-dueled Bob Gibson to no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals for a 1-0 win at Candlestick Park. The Cards’ Ray Washburn retaliated by no-hitting the Giants the next day.

Nineteen years ago today, on Tuesday, September 17, 1996, Nomo threw a no-no against the Colorado Rockies for a 9-0 win at Coors Field. Nomo followed it up with a second no-hitter for the Boston Red Sox in 2001.
