Rounding Third
Nolan Ryan, Bob Feller & the Rarity of Baseball’s No-Hitters
Episode Notes
On June 21, 1964 — Father’s Day — I witnessed one of baseball’s rarest feats: Jim Bunning’s perfect game for the Phillies against the Mets. That moment sent me down a rabbit hole of no-hitter and one-hitter history, from legends like Nolan Ryan and Bob Feller to pitchers who suffered heartbreaking near-misses.
In this episode of Rounding Third, we dive into:
- The story of Jim Bunning’s perfect game and its historic significance
- The rarity of no-hitters and why perfect games are even more special
- Nolan Ryan’s mind-blowing 7 no-hitters and 12 one-hitters
- Forgotten feats like back-to-back one-hitters and near-perfect heartbreaks
Baseball history is filled with remarkable pitching performances — but some are so rare they’re almost mythical. Let’s talk about them.
