The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for July 27, 2011)

Ervin Santana threw the first no hitter ever for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The last no hitters for the franchise were for the CALIFORNIA Angels.

No hitters always look strange when the losing team scored a run... but not as strange as combined no hitters (which was the last no hitter the team had when Mark Langston and Mike Witt combined in 1990).

Great work Mr. Santana.

Let's update the list.

CLIFF LEE IS THROWING A NO HITTER!!! RIGHT NOW!

I'm not one for superstition... but just in case, I am going to scream the fact that CLIFF LEE IS THROWING A NO HITTER over and over again.

I will be happy to be the man who jinxed THIS one!!!

I am liking this post steroid baseball

Doesn't it seem like every day there is a pitcher taking a no hitter into the late innings? I think it is pretty cool.

Why am I including a picture of Marlins pitcher Anibal Sanchez?
No reason.

(I didn't jinx anything!)

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for May 7, 2011)

My update of this list with Francisco Liriano at the top last a whopping 4 days. Justi n Verlander gets his second no hitter and the Tigers got a much needed boost of self confidence... at least when Verlander is on the hill.

Let's update the list.
