Player Profile: Bill Singer

On July 20, 1970, righty Bill Singer threw what was the 18th no-hitter in Dodger history and the first since Koufax’s perfect game in 1965. In doing so he accomplished something that Dodger legends like Don Drysdale and Don Sutton never did. He threw a no-hitter in a major league game. It would be 10 more years before a Dodger pitcher, (Jerry Ruess) would throw another.

William Robert Singer was born on April 24, 1944, in Los Angeles California. His parents were Robert and Margaret Singer. He and his sister were raised in Pomona. His dad worked for General Dynamics in Pomona.
