He lived up the street from me when I was a kid. I've told stories about him before here, but I distinctly remember when he threw this no hitter, lots of people in our neighborhood (my family included) put up signs on our mailboxes and garages congratulating him, so he'd see them when he came home.

That's an awesome story zeus. I remember you telling others about him living nearby.

Vince Coleman lived in the small suburb town where I grew up in the 80s. He bought me a candy bar at a gas station one time.

Pete Vuchovich played high school ball with my older brother. Pete taught me how to throw a curve ball when I was about 9 years old. I threw a no-hitter in little league, because little leaguers never saw a curve ball before and had no clue what to do with it.

30 years later or so, I cursed Pete’s name every day due to the severe chronic elbow pain. 9 year olds should not be throwing curve balls.
