On this day in 1973, Nolan Ryan threw the first of his 7 no-hitters. He beat KC with 12 Ks.
We know the rest of history. He pitched another no-hitter in 1973, 1974 and 1975. He pitched #5 in 1981, # 6 in 1990 and # 7 in 1991.
I had the good fortune of listening to # 5 on the radio (it was on a Sunday afternoon against Baltimore) and catching # 7 with the late Mark Holtz calling strike three on Roberto Alomar to end the game.
