Bill Dietrich threw a no-hitter for the Chicago White Sox.
I just realized that every year we (of course) celebrate the anniversary of Johan Santana’s no-hitter, the first for the New York Mets, and often neglect the other two thrown on this date.
On Tuesday, June 1, 1937, The Chicago White Sox Bill Dietrich no-hit the St. Louis Browns for an 8-0 win at Comiskey Park.
And on Sunday, June 1, 1975, the California Angels’ Nolan Ryan no-hit the Baltimore Orioles for a 1-0 win at Anaheim Stadium. It was Ryan’s fourth no-hitter of an eventual seven career no-hitters, tying the then major-league record set by Sandy Koufax.

It’s @JohanSantana day, but we also honor Bill Dietrich (@WhiteSox) and Nolan Ryan (@Angels) https://t.co/2s3Sd7un3r https://t.co/0QJly7CD7P
