Zusammenfassung The average pitcher has about a.000645 chance of throwing a no-hitter. In the spring of 1938, Cincinnati Reds rookie pitcher Johnny Vander Meer pitched two, back to back. The feat has never been duplicated. Double No-Hit offers an inning-by-inning account of that historic second consecutive no-hitter, accomplished during the first night game in New York City.
