@cfineart @1974Baseball @SABRbbcards @PostWarCards @70sBaseball @BigHairPlasGras @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards Very cool. I've never seen a no-hitter in person. — PolitiTweet.org

@phungo2008 On a related note, attentive followers of my feed will recall my post about the 7 catchers for Nolan Ryan’s 7 no-hitters. https://t.co/r0MAiFg4rj — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

How about those Forsch brothers? Their no-hitters were less than a year apart — April 16, 1978 for Bob and April 7, 1979 for Ken. https://t.co/bNJJusJR1w — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

With @whitesox in 1976, Odom gave up no hits but walked 9 in 5 innings. Barrios got a hitless 4-inning save to preserve no-hitter and 2-1 win. https://t.co/mnop6Ne5AC — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

On the last day of the 1975 season, having already clinched a playoff berth, Blue left game after 5 hitless innings and these guys finished without surrendering a hit. No save for Fingers as A’s led 5-0. https://t.co/uzitN4KIsU — PolitiTweet.org

The catcher for Vida Blue’s 1970 gem was fellow rookie Gene Tenace. https://t.co/beGh67vxQl — PolitiTweet.org

First modern pitcher with facial hair to throw a no-hitter. https://t.co/4eYbtY391m — PolitiTweet.org

Holtzman and Stoneman threw their second no-hitters in the 1970s. Both had hurled hitless gems in 1969. https://t.co/00GFvtF45k — PolitiTweet.org

People forget Steve Busby, but he won 16, 22 and 18 games from 1973-75 along with the pair of hitless games. https://t.co/MqKi6qNcWr — PolitiTweet.org

Four no-hitters between May 1973 and June 1975. https://t.co/oe0Es8KPbF — PolitiTweet.org

He’s not pictured in one on this card, but Bob Gibson’s 1971 no-no was the first by a pitcher in a polyester uniform. @uniformcritic @UniWatch @PolyesterUnis https://t.co/ndmWsSpa8b — PolitiTweet.org

Carpet o’ Cards: There were 31 no-hitters in the 1970s. A groovy thread on some of the pitchers who threw them... @SABRbbcards @PostWarCards @70sBaseball @1974Baseball @BigHairPlasGras @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards https://t.co/0uB5xc33ds — PolitiTweet.org

@sascards67 @SABRbbcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards @fergieajenkins Top row between fellow 27-game winners Koufax and Welch. Used the Traded card because it shows Phillies uni. https://t.co/QW1CVyNf4f — PolitiTweet.org

Koufax & Marichal had 3 seasons with 25+ wins; others with two seasons of 24+ wins. https://t.co/EzBPTxeSQv — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Carpet o’ Cards: Pitchers who have won 24+ games in a season since World War II. Seven did it more than once; only two have won 24 in this millennium. @SABRbbcards @PostWarCards @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards @fergieajenkins https://t.co/tf6XuGJ5vD — PolitiTweet.org
