So I gave tfloyd the first game because I got the Soroka debut and Braves Journal rules prohibit any recapper from getting more than one “next great pitcher” debut. I will no doubt be rewarded in the next life for this act of generosity, and that’s good enough for me. Nice job, both Ian and tfloyd.
A quick note on seven-inning no-hitters. In 1991, Fay Vincent retroactively redesignated less-than-nine-inning no-hitters as non-no-hitters. (See https://www.nonohitters.com/near-no-hitters/) This is, in my opinion, as were many things Fay Vincent did, unsound, but, as with everything else Fay Vincent did, I wasn’t consulted.
