Johnny Vander Meer No Hitter Box Score on June 11, 1938
A truly dominant no-hitter in which only three opposing hitters reached first base and none of them ever went further. Johnny Vander Meer faced the minimum through three then then walked Gene Moore at the top of the fourth. Johnny Cooney hit a deep foul which was caught for the first out and Moore took off for second, but was gunned down when he fell returning back to first. Tony Cuccinello walked in the fifth, but was also gunned down leading off the base a little too far. The only other batter to reach base also walked in the fifth, but was left on base.

"Before the no-hitter against Boston on June eleventh that year I was just a rookie that nobody, but Bill McKechnie knew." - Johnny Vander Meer
