Fewer than half the pitchers in the National Baseball Hall of Fame have thrown a no-hitter. Many of the biggest names in pitching have never done it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book focuses on pitchers who threw no-hitters and the no-hitters they threw. Naturally, we couldn't present biographies of everyone who ever threw a no-hitter nor could we present Games Project accounts of all of them. From around 300 no-hitters thrown in the majors (out of over 213,000 games), we have selected 59 no-hitters to include, along with the biographies of the men who threw them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTouching on a variety of matters and spanning the decades from the earlier eras of baseball to more recent years, NO-HITTERS includes the first no-hitter in each league; first no-hitter thrown at 60 feet 6 inches; first in which the losing team scored a run; first pitcher to debut with a no-hitter; first extra-inning no-hitter; and many more. This book represents the collective work of 56 different SABR members as authors and editors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eJOE BORDEN, Charlie Weatherby\u003cbr\u003eJuly 28, 1875, Casey Tibbitts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGEORGE BRADLEY, Brian Engelhardt\u003cbr\u003eJuly 15, 1876 18, Parker Bena\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEE RICHMOND \u003cbr\u003eJune 12, 1880, John R.
