TRIVIA ?....Name 4 players involved in 17 2/3 innings of NO-HIT ball....

[barrysloate]

I got nothing here.

[barrysloate]

Didn't Hal Newhouser miss back to back no-hitters by one out, thus the 17 2/3 innings?

[Butch7999]

Wait, was Bill on the right track with Toney? Didn't Toney and Jim Vaughn throw dueling no-hitters in a 1917 major league game?

[barrysloate]

They did, until the 10th inning. But that would take it to at least 18 innings combined, so that's probably not the answer.

[Anthony S.]

Are we talking about the 26 inning game between the Dodgers and Braves in 1920? Both Leon Cadore and Joe Oeschger went 26 innings. Were there 17 and 2/3 innings of no hit ball in the middle of that game?

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

I thought about the 26-inning game, too, but wasn't sure that was what Ted was after.

[Anthony S.]

Here goes:

Gibson, Perry, Bolin, and Washburn.

From when the Giants and Cardinals threw back-to-back no hitters against each other in September of 1968. Is that it?

[FrankWakefield]

I'm wondering about O'Niell, Browning, Wells, and Cone...

Or maybe October 5th, 1907, rube Vickers of the A's pitched 5 perfect innings against the Senators; this was the second inning of a double header. In the first game, that lasted 15 innings, Vickers had pitched the last 12 innings, and he got both wins, his only 2 victories of the 1907 season.


Or, on July 4, 1908, New York Giant Hooks Wiltse hit pitcher George McQuillan of the Philadelphia Phillies with the count 2 and 2 in a scoreless game—the only time a 0–0 perfect game has been broken up by the 27th batter. Umpire Cy Rigler later admitted that he should have called the previous pitch strike 3, which would have ended the game. Wiltse pitched on, winning 1-0; his ten-inning no-hitter set a record for longest complete game no-hitter that has been tied twice but never broken.

Or what about that Ruth / Shore game, was that a 1-0 game?

[tedzan]

OK, you guys are all over the place, and that's actually not bad since many more events are brought to light.

So, I have to relent and throw in a hint......

One of the four players involved in this scenario(s) is Jackie Robinson.

Is this a contest to see who knows baseball trivia? Or who knows how to read Ted's mind?

[FrankWakefield]

Berra, Reese, Robinson, and Furillo...

Each were in the games in 1947 and 1956 World Series.... Bevens' near miss, and Larson's complete deal.
