TRIVIA ?....Name 4 players involved in 17 2/3 innings of NO-HIT ball....

[FrankWakefield]

I'm wondering about O'Niell, Browning, Wells, and Cone...

Or maybe October 5th, 1907, rube Vickers of the A's pitched 5 perfect innings against the Senators; this was the second inning of a double header. In the first game, that lasted 15 innings, Vickers had pitched the last 12 innings, and he got both wins, his only 2 victories of the 1907 season.


Or, on July 4, 1908, New York Giant Hooks Wiltse hit pitcher George McQuillan of the Philadelphia Phillies with the count 2 and 2 in a scoreless game—the only time a 0–0 perfect game has been broken up by the 27th batter. Umpire Cy Rigler later admitted that he should have called the previous pitch strike 3, which would have ended the game. Wiltse pitched on, winning 1-0; his ten-inning no-hitter set a record for longest complete game no-hitter that has been tied twice but never broken.

Or what about that Ruth / Shore game, was that a 1-0 game?

OK, you guys are all over the place, and that's actually not bad since many more events are brought to light.

So, I have to relent and throw in a hint......

One of the four players involved in this scenario(s) is Jackie Robinson.

Is this a contest to see who knows baseball trivia? Or who knows how to read Ted's mind?

[FrankWakefield]

Berra, Reese, Robinson, and Furillo...

Each were in the games in 1947 and 1956 World Series.... Bevens' near miss, and Larson's complete deal.

Frank....didn't I predict that you would get it ?

I formed this one from Yogi's new book...."Team Work".

As you know Yogi spent a good amount of his time playing LF in 1947. But, Bucky Harris had enough
confidence in Yogi to have him catch Bill Bevens' World Series 8 2/3 rds innings no-hitter.

And, as we all know, Yogi caught Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 W.S.
Yogi was the only Yankee to be in both these exciting W.S. games.

And, as Frank said....Jackie, Pee Wee and Carl Furillo were also in both W.S. games.

Great going guys,
