What's even more impressive of VanderMeer is he worked 21 2/3 no-hit innings counting the games before and after his two no-hitters. Now, if that isn't impressive enough in it's own right, I had the occasion to work a show with Johnny right before his death. He told me that his streak would have run to nearly 27 inning showever a play originally ruled an error was changed to a hit, thereby stopping the streak at 21 2/3 innings.

You both have good answers and you might add Allie Reynolds of the Yankees to this mix.....as Reynolds (like Vander Meer)
pitched consecutive No-Hitters. Reynolds accomplished this feat in 1951. However, these 2 guys are not exactly the answers that I'm looking for on this quiz. And, as exciting as their back-to-back No-Hit games were, try to think of a higher level of excitement. And, I think you will arrive at the 4 players that I'm looking for. TED Z |

He pitched two in 1951, with many games in between...Ted, I wish I understood the question.

Allie Reynolds did not pitch consecutive No-Hitters....here what he did in the 1951 season......
July 12, 1951 vs Cleveland Sept 28, 1951 vs Boston You got me, Rich......anyhow, I am really surprised that you have not got the answers to my original quiz here ? ? TED Z |

Ted- could you rephrase the question so it is a little clearer? It's the four guys involved that have me confused. Thank you.

You are focusing on the 4 guys too much. The 17 2/3rds no-hit innings are the real clue.

I'm thinking a very long extra inning game where there wasn't a hit in the middle 17 2/3 innings. Am I getting warm?

It's not about guys who hurled two no-hitters in a season.
Frank's and Jon's responses regarding Vander Meer certainly fell within the realm of the original question; therefore, I couldn't discount their answer. But, it was not exactly what I'm looking for here. TED Z |
