That no hitter when he was with St. Louis!!!

From Wikipedia...
During his first season in the Majors, he was able to pitch occasionally in relief, but on the final day of the 1891 season, October 4, Breitenstein was allowed to start and he pitched a no-hitter against the Louisville Colonels, an 8–0 victory. He faced the minimum number of batters of 27, allowed just one base on balls, which was erased by a double play or by a pickoff play. It was also the last no-hitter thrown in the American Association, as the league folded following the season.

Excellent.

Now, how many other MLB pitchers have pitched a No-Hitter in their 1st Major League start ?

Bobo Holloman. And in the back of my mind I think there's someone else.


As for Breitenstein, I didn't know about the 27 batters faced, about it being the last AA no hitter, nor about the Louisville Colonels being involved. I did recall he threw a no hitter in his first start, and that he was with St. Louis.


And having re-read the question, you didn't ask who else, you asked how many. I think 2, but it may be 1 or 3...
