No-hit pitchers Don Nottebart, Ken Johnson and Ken Holtzman circa 1969.
This photo was likely taken within a few days of Holtzman's no-hitter on 8/19/69 @ Wrigley.
Between the 3 of them they had 4 career no-hitters...
Burt "Happy" Hooten and catcher Randy Hundley after Hooten's no-hitter on 4/16/92 @ Wrigley
Milt Pappas and catcher Randy Hundley after Pappas' near-perfect game on 9/2/72 @ Wrigley.
Pappas walked the final batter of the day and ultimately had to settle for a no-hitter.
