On this day in 1938, Johnny Vander Meer became the only pitcher in baseball history to throw two back-to-back no-hitters.
Vander Meer went on to play 13 seasons with a 119-121 record. He won 49 games and led the NL in strikeouts over a 3-year span before going off to World War II in 1944-45.
His record of back to back no hitters will be very difficult to match or break.
