Some no-hitters are rarer than others, and the Atlanta Braves have one such game in their history.
While this franchise has been headquartered in Georgia, the Atlanta Braves have just three no-hitters to their credit. As we noted yesterday, one of these was unusual in that it featured a knuckleball thrower. Today’s featured game is also a bit odd, but for an entirely different reason.
Another footnote to this oddity was that it happened 10 years to the day before the 9/11 attack.
