Birthday wishes today to a couple of Bostonians who threw their National League no-hitters more than a century ago.
The Boston Beaneaters’ Jack Stivetts, born 151 years ago today, no-hit the Brooklyn Grooms 11-0 on Saturday, August 6, 1892 at Brooklyn’s Eastern Park.
The Boston Doves’ Frank “Big Jeff” Pfeffer, born 137 years ago on this date, no-hit the Cincinnati Reds 6-0 on Wednesday, May 8, 1907 at Boston’s Huntington Avenue Grounds.
