Tommy Greene
We’re sending out some no-no birthday wishes today to Bert Blyleven and Tommy Greene.
Blyleven, the only no-hitter thrower born in the Netherlands, turns 65. The Texas Rangers pitcher from Zeist no-hit the California Angels on Thursday, September 22, 1977 at Anaheim Stadium. Blyleven, who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011, is now a color analyst for the Minnesota Twins.
Greene, who turns 51 today, threw a no-hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, May 23, 1991, against the Montreal Expos at Olympic Stadium.
