Happy birthday to Dick Fowler, the only Canadian-born no-hitter thrower.
The Philadelphia Athletics’ Fowler tossed a no-no against the St. Louis Browns during the second game of a September 9, 1945, doubleheader at Shibe Park. The Toronto native was born on this day in 1921.
Fowler posted a 66-79 record with a .455 ERA over a 10-year career with the A’s.
