Jones becomes 1st African-American to throw MLB no-no, 63 years ago today
Sam Jones became the first African-American to throw a Major League Baseball no-hitter, 63 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.
