There was only one no-no tossed in 1954 and it was by a Braves pitcher.
Braves Franchise History
1949: After piloting the team for 13 seasons, Charlie Grimm ends his tenure as the Cubs’ manager by splitting a doubleheader with the Braves. The 19,802 fans in attendance at Braves Field give the skipper, who will stay in the organization as Chicago’s vice-president, a long-standing ovation when he takes his position in the third base coaching box for the last time.
1954: Jim Wilson of the Milwaukee Braves pitches the year’s only no-hitter, blanking the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-0.
2012: Alex Rodriguez ties Lou Gehrig’s record by hitting his 23rd career grand slam off the Braves’ Jonny Venters. A-Rod’s 8th-inning blast allows the Yankees to tie the score, and Nick Swisher hits a two-run shot later that inning for a 6-4 win.
MLB History
1886: St. Louis Maroons right-hander Charlie Sweeney, who will give up only nine round-trippers in 93 innings of work this season, sets a major league record when he gives up seven home runs in the team’s 14-7 loss to the Wolverines at Detroit’s Recreation Park. The post-1900 mark is six gopher balls, a dubious distinction shared by a number of pitcher.
1997: After 126 years of major league play tradition, the first interleague game is played as the San Francisco Giants beat the host Texas Rangers, 4-3. Glenallen Hill becomes the National League’s first regular season designated hitter.
2010: Daniel Nava of the Red Sox hits the first pitch he sees as a major leaguer for a grand slam as Boston beats Philadelphia, 10-2. Kevin Kouzmanoff had been the only previous player to accomplish this feat, in 2006.
2017: Royce Lewis, a high school shortstop from California, is selected first overall by the Twins in the 2017 amateur draft. The Reds follow by picking Hunter Greene, who gained national publicity by hitting 102 mph on the radar gun at age 17. The Padres then choose P MacKenzie Gore, making it three high school players selected at the top of the draft, a first since 1990.
