4. Johnny Vander Meer Pitches Back-to-Back No-Hitters

In 1938, Johnny Vander Meer told the AP Wire, “All the publicity, the attention, the interviews, the photographs, were too much for me.” He was talking about what happened moments before, when he sealed what the Cincinnati Post called “the greatest feat in the game’s history.” He pitched consecutive no-hitters.

The 23-year-old rookie hit the mound on June 11 versus the Boston Bees. He struck out four, walked three, and allowed no hits. It was the Reds’ first no-hitter in 18 years. Four days later in Brooklyn, he walked eight and struck out seven against the Dodgers. Also, a no hitter. To this day, sportswriters still marvel at the rarity of such a spectacle, admitting that it’s impossible for three consecutive no-hitters to happen.
