There were also 7 no hitters in 2015, so 3 different years with 7 no hitters in the decade ending this year.
And, in case anybody is wondering, there were also 4 in a month in June 1990, including 2 on one day (Fernando & Dave Stewart).
In 1917 there were 5 no hitters in 23 days between April 14 and May 6.
I think it's slightly weird that the 6 official no-hitters have been thrown against 3 teams.
Also, all 7 no-hitters this year have been thrown with a DH in the lineup.
