According to the number crunching from the experts at MLB.com, April 27 is one of four days that has the most no-hitters. And, one of those was accomplished by a Baltimore Orioles pitcher.
That April 27 no-hitter was pitched by Tom Phoebus in 1968. Ironically, that year was known as the “Year of the Pitcher” as pitchers saw incredible success. Detroit Tigers Denny McLain winning the MVP and Cy Young Award for the AL and St. Louis Cardinals Bob Gibson did the same in the NL. Mickey Lolich of the Tigers had three complete games in the World Series (good luck seeing that ever again).
