It's now called "visually impaired" for cripes sake.

Dunno the answer, but on a related note, the glove used in the game by the pitcher of a 15 inning no hitter is up for auction currently.

I believe Ted is asking about something other than what happened in the Blue Grass League about 100 years ago... but here's Tony's T210

Here's his sig!

You are are correct.....the answer(s) to this quiz do not pertain to anything that happened 100 years ago in the Minor Leagues.

As an astute student of the BaseBall scene, that you are, I'll be surprised if you don't come up with the names of these players.

I'll try to read up a bit and figure this one out...

It could be Vander Meer's back to back no hitters in 1938; but what I think it is would be a game where both pitchers had no hitters going until the bottom of the ninth, when a run scored. Did Joss win a no hitter against Walsh that way in 1908? Help!!

What's even more impressive of VanderMeer is he worked 21 2/3 no-hit innings counting the games before and after his two no-hitters. Now, if that isn't impressive enough in it's own right, I had the occasion to work a show with Johnny right before his death. He told me that his streak would have run to nearly 27 inning showever a play originally ruled an error was changed to a hit, thereby stopping the streak at 21 2/3 innings.
