Tuesday Trivia: Three No-Hitter Club

[cgjackson222]

There are 35 pitchers who have thrown at least two no-hitters, including the postseason, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

But only 6 players have thrown at least 3 no-hitters. Who are these 6 pitchers?

Nolan Ryan is the obvious one. After that Verlander? Maddux?

I know Koufax had 4 and I think Feller had 3

Yes Nolan Ryan has the most no-hitters with 7, Koufax had 4, Feller had 3 and Verlander had 3.

Two other pitchers also had 3 no-hitters. Who are they?

Correct Cy Young had 3 no-hitters.

Hint on the last one: His first no-hitter was the 6th one ever pitched.

Despite his diminutive 5'3, 127 pound frame, Larry Corcoran was a dominant pitcher in the 19th century, pitching baseball's 6th, 10th and 15th no-hitters.

One of baseball’s early curveball masters, Corcoran was a part of three pennant-winning Chicago teams. He was a true workhorse, averaging 456 innings pitched and 34 wins per season for five years, until his arm, understandably, burned out. Unable to adjust to life outside of baseball, he turned to alcohol and died at the age of 32, broke, and was buried in an unmarked grave in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Newark.
