Reds’ Vander Meer tosses back-to-back no-nos, 82 years ago today
Johnny Vander Meer became the first pitcher to throw no-hitters in back-to-back starts, 82 years ago today.
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.
