Johnny Vander Meer, Twice Perfect


"On June 15, 1938, the Brooklyn Dodgers held the first night game at their home park, Ebbets Field. Pitching against the Dodgers that night was Cincinnati's Johnny Vander Meer who, four days earlier, had pitched a no-hitter against the Boston Bees. In an unprecedented pitching feat that has since not been matched, Vander Meer pitched a no-hitter against the Dodgers, becoming the only man to pitch two consecutive no-hitters. It's a feat likely never to be repeated."
