I can see it: me and you tearing through the countryside in a rag top like a modern day Charlie and Raymond Babbitt. Ladies... watch out.

right times have changed...its 16 or 17 versus 4 in the last 20 ......thats a huge disparity.....plus the disparity of much greater than the disparity of 12-8 or 24-16..that doesnt come close to 17-3..lets see two AL no hitters in a row before bring back this thread..
.there are also additional factors...such as pitches faced....i would suspect the pitch count gets higher when facing 3 DHs versus 3 hitting pitchers....
its 1 to 1.375 like you said but trend is everything....its trending in a much greater disparity...already a few close NL no hitters this year versus zero in AL.......i wish i could pay prices from 30 years ago for a rookie mantle but i cant..cause that time has passed.....we are now in the present....
