The New York Yankees, the world’s most storied sports franchise, have tossed 12 no-hitters over the team’s history dating back to 1901. The Yankees’ most famous no-no, of course, is Don Larsen’s perfect game in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
George Mogridge threw the New York Yankees’ first no-hitter in 1917, a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox.
Although the 1901 and 1902 seasons are not considered part of the Yankees’s storied history, the franchise actually began in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, spending two years in Maryland before falling into league ownership and relocating to north Manhattan’s Hilltop Park as the New York Highlanders. The nickname Yankees, which had started appearing in newspaper columns, was officially adopted in 1913.
Allie Reynolds is the only Yankees pitcher to throw two no-hitters, and both came during the 1951 season. David Wells and David Cone also threw perfect games for the Yanks.

11s are wild: 11 days ’til Opening Day, No. 11 on our NoNoHitters 30 list, the New York Yankees with 11 nohitters … http://t.co/NECrEp7eXo

Is the reason that Andy Hawkins is not on the list, is that he only pitched 8 innings in a game in Comiskey Park on July 1, 1990?
Hi. Yep, in 1991 baseball nixed the 8 1/2 road no-nos as well as darkness/rain shortened and ones lost in extra innings. Hawkins and the others can be found on the unofficial no-nos list at https://www.nonohitters.com/near-no-hitters/
With all due respect to the 1991 parameters, the “Hawkins game” is recognized as a complete game that was not shortened. The “Ed Karger” game in 1907 was shortened for a reason. The “Hawkins” was played to its normal conclusion. If its played to its normal conclusion, shouldn’t the 1991 parameters be changed? In the other no hitter losses in Baltimore and Houston, these games reached their normal conclusions, the only difference being that the home team lost. What do you think?
