WS no-no thrower Grier born 115 years ago today
Today would be the 115th birthday of Claude “Red” Grier, who threw baseball’s first World Series no-hitter in 1926.
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).
