    Wells and Valenzuela are the perfect game and Cy Young winners to complete the questions. Weaver is another.

    The rest are

    Earl Wilson, Sonny Siebert, Tom Phoebus, Rick Wise and Edwin Jackson.

    Edinson Volquez is the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter after leaving the Padres.

    To keep the theme, what team has the second longest streak without throwing a no hitter? And what team has gone the longest without being no hit?

    Going to tentatively say Brewers for the first answer and the Indians as the second

    Nope. Neither are the answer to those questions.

    Wild stabs on my part, but it’s a fun question

    The answers are:

    The CLEVELAND INDIANS own the longest current no no-no streak among teams that have thrown a no-hitter. It has been 39 years, 2 months, 23 days ago since Len Barker tossed a perfect game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Cleveland Stadium.

    The OAKLAND ATHLETICS haven't fallen victim to a no-hitter since 29 years, 0 months, 24 days ago, the longest current streak. Four Orioles combined for the no-hotter

    Billie Jean Kong’s younger brother played almost a dozen years in the Majors. Who was he?

    Greg Minton.

    Randy Smith of Buffalo State was the only NBA ASG MVP from a Division III program.

    Not Minton, but he was a teammate of the brother for several years.
