Goodgame tosses no-no for West Baden, 105 years ago today

John Goodgame threw a Negro Leagues no-hitter for the West Baden Sprudels, 105 years ago today.

On Friday, April 21, 1911, Goodgame no-hit the French Lick Plutos in West Baden, Indiana, for a 3-0 win. The website Agate Type: Reconstructing Negro League & Latin Baseball History dug up a short Indianapolis Freeman write-up about the game, showing that Goodgame, a new recruit out of Talladega College, struck out 11 and walked just one.
