The Cleveland Indians’ Dick Bosman threw a no-hitter against the Oakland Athletics, 42 years ago today.
On Friday, July 19, 1974, at Cleveland Stadium, Bosman no-hit the A’s for a 4-0 win. He would have had a perfect game if not for his own error. With two outs in the fourth, the slow-footed Sal Bando dribbled a swinging bunt down the third base line. Bosman fielded the ball cleanly, but his throw pulled first baseman Tommy McCraw off the bag, and Bando had his base.
Bosman walked none and struck out four on the night.
