    I don't have my Jays' media guide handy, but Dave Stieb pitched two staright games where he didn't give up a hit until the ninth.

    If he was any good, he would have struck them (Julio Franco and Jim Traber) out.

    Way back in the day, quotes weren't used nearly as much as they are now.

    Also way back in the day, sportswriters were more buddies with the players than they are now.

    In Ryan's next start after his no-hitter on July 15, 1973, he carried a no-hitter until one out in the eighth against the Orioles before giving up a single to Mark Belanger.

    The only other time he even flirted with it was in 1975. After he no-hit the Orioles on June 1, his next start against the Brewers he took a no-no into the sixth before giving up a two-out single to Hank Aaron.

    I'm no expert on the topic but the game started at 9:45 and was played in 2:23, so it ended just after midnight.

    That could have been a reason for the lack of quotes.

    One more question: He walked 8 batters. I tried to look it up, but I'm curious to know how many pitches he threw.

    No it's not. Most gamers from that era don't contain quotes. Very, very rare to see that.

    I doubt if pitch counts exist anywhere for any games before the 1970s (and probably later).

    Also way back in the day, sportswriters were paid more than they are now.
     
  11. Of course, to actually actually <i>break</i> the record, someone would have to throw three in a row.
