Padres no no-no count reaches 8,000
The San Diego Padres’ no no-hitters streak has reached 8,000 games, putting the franchise just 19 games shy of overtaking the Mets futility mark of 8,019.
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).
