Will's Trivia - 4/9/08

Just throwing this out to see how hard it is...

For which of the current 30 MLB franchises has it been the longest since they were last involved in a no-hit ballgame? NOTE: In cases of franchises that have never been involved in a no-hit ballgame, use the year of their founding.

[njmeadowlanders]

Well, since their founding, FLA and COL have been involved.

ARZ had a Perfect game @ ATL

TB's only been around since '98...

SD was no-hit by AJ Burnett of FLA and Bud Smith of StL

LA had Nomo

The Yanks had a few

Boston has too

Philly had Milwood vs SF

Detroit got one vs, Milwaukee

The Twins had one vs the Angels

Houston had a 6-pitcher no-no @ NYY

I believe Baltimore was also no-hit by Nomo w/ Boston.

The ChiSox had Buherle no-hit Texas

The Expos/Nats were a victim of a perfect game

So, I've wiggled it down to: CLE, KC, OAK, SEA, TOR, CHC, CIN, NY Mets, PIT

...and I know the Mets were last no-hit in 1993 by the late Darryl Kile...then w/ Houston. So that's as much as I can think of off the top of my head...can't recall if any of the others were involved more recently...

[NJTank]

Cle was no hit by Jim Abbot in 93

Pit had a combine No No in 1997

Cin Tom Browning Perfect Game 1988

KC No Hit by Wilson Alvarez in 1991

Oak No Hitter by Dave Stewart 1990

Sea Chris Bosio No No 1993

Tor Dave Stieb got one in 1990

Therefore by elimination my guess is the Cubs

[WJMorris3]

It is in fact the Cubs. The Cubs haven't been involved in a no-hitter since Milt Pappas no-hit the Padres back in 1972.
