Nolan Ryan and Hideo Nomo have each thrown no-hitters in both leagues


The 19th century perfect games to me are much more impressive than modern ones. Teams played on horrible fields,worse than most independent leagues teams have now,plus the fielders had no gloves and averaged 4 errors per game back then. The hitters werent the same guys who come up now and swing for the fences down 0-2 in the count and his team down 5-0 on the scoreboard thinking they can hit the first 5 run homer in major league history. The guys back then put the ball in play by slapping at it and running their 19th century butt down the first base line to beat it out. Thats why it was only accomplished twice in a span of 30 years during the 19th century,its amazing accomplishment and shouldnt be diminished because of the mound distance being changed years later
