Ed Head threw a no-hitter for the Brooklyn Dodgers, 70 years ago today.

Head, a 6-foot-1 right-hander from Selma, Alabama, no-hit the Boston Braves on April 23, 1946, for a 5-0 victory at Ebbets Field. Four Braves reached base – three on walks issued by Head and one on an error by Dodgers’ shortstop Pee Wee Reese.

Head told the AP after the game: “I knew I had it all the time – don’t ask me how, but I knew it.”
