"Fate, however, did not deny (Dave) Stieb on Sunday September 2. Carrying a 16-5 record for the AL East's second place Blue Jays and facing Bud Black, Stieb became the first Blue Jays pitcher to toss a no-hitter. It culminated a storied season in which nine no-hitters were thrown in the major leagues." - Rich Westcott in No-Hitters (2000)

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
