Happy 167th birthday to Ed Cushman, who threw a no-hitter for the Milwaukee Brewers of the Union Association on September 28, 1884.
Cushman on that day blanked the Washington Nationals 5-0 at Milwaukee’s Wright Street Grounds.

Dirk Lammers is a veteran journalist who began rooting for the New York Mets in the early-1970s when the team’s no no-hitter count was barely 2,000 games old. Lammers has since turned his research into Baseball’s No-Hit Wonders: More Than a Century of Pitching’s Greatest Feats (Unbridled Books) and NoNoHitters.com, where he maintains the Internet's largest archive of no-hitter information.

It must be more than mere coincidence that in 1884 the baseball team was known as the Brewers. How long has Milwaukee been a “beer town?”
I believe it’s always been. It’s my understanding that the industry there goes back to at least 1840.
