Two in 67 and 73. I wonder how often that happened?

I remember Norm Cash walking to the plate against Nolan Ryan wielding a table leg with two outs in the ninth inning. Fittingly, Ron Luciano was the home-plate umpire.

I remember that one well (4/30/67). I was listening to the game in the car and got home to see the last inning or two on TV so it had to be a weekend game and was definitely a day game. Of course, most of us know the Tigers won that game 2 to 1.

I saw Bob Feller's 3rd and last no-hitter on July 1st, 1951 with my dad and sister. What's strange is the Tigers scored a run early on because of a walk and error and no one realized Feller had a no-no until the 8th inning.

Vic Wertz lined one just foul in the 9th.

Great game. Great pitcher!

The Big Unit pitched for the M's not the A's

Joel Horlen not Joe Horlen tossed the no-no in September of 1967. Horlen was known for chewing Kleenex while on the mound (Ernie used to say it all the time.) The White Sox under Eddie Stanky were in the race with the Tigers, Twins, and Red Sox. It was really wild and many in baseball were saying that the White Sox actually froze their baseballs to aid their tough pitching staff and their speed versus power team. I think this game was part of a twin bill on a Sunday and the first game was on TV and I think the Tigers lost and only scored one run. Needless to say, the bats were in the deep freeze that day.
