Did you know that Wilson Alvarez had only made one big league start prior to this game? During that game he faced five batters and could not retire any of them before being removed from the game!

Wilson Alvarez set two famous firsts - he was the first pitcher from Venezuela and the first Chicago White Sox lefthander to toss a no-hitter!

White Sox outfielders had twelve putouts and Lance Johnson earned extra credit by making a spectacular diving catch of a hard hit fast sinking Chris Hoiles liner that would have easily been a triple!
