Hardball Times: Ten least-likely guys to break up a no-hitter

THT's Chris Jaffe uses purely unscientific means to narrow down the list of 10 guys whose names you'd only ever know because they turned a no-hitter into a one-hitter.

Of the 10 moments listed, four involve the Mets. That number goes up to 10 if you count ties, with only two of them occurring in the Mets' favor (Cleon Jones in 1965 and Anthony Young in 1992). And that's not even counting Kit Pellow busting up Tom Glavine's no-no bid in 2004...

This made me laugh

Finally, Tsao only had two hits in his entire career, but one of them prevented Steve Trachsel from throwing a no-hitter. I’m not sure which is more embarrassing, having the opposing pitcher ruin your no-hitter or being a team nearly no-hit by Steve Trachsel.

I’d go with the latter. Steve Trachsel had two one hitters in 2003, the aforementioned Tsao, and one against the Angels. I’ll let you guess who broke that up.

37 - 14 - 41 - 31 - 17 - 42 - SHEA

Jimmy Qualls and Mike Compton

apparently make Joe Wallis look good by comparison.

Gary Cohen: What's wrong with the script?
