Nolan Ryan is one of a handful of pitchers to throw a no-hitter in both the American League and the National League. Can you name any of the others?
Pictured: Harvey Kuenn, card #25 in the 1954 Topps set. Kuenn holds the dubious mark of making the final out in TWO no-hitters thrown by Sandy Koufax.
(Soon to be ex-Senator) Jim Bunning is one.

Yes indeed. Three more to go. One is in the Hall. One will be in the Hall (probably within ten years). And one probably won't make the Hall (in my opinion).

Clemens -- no. My research reveals that he never threw a no-hitter. Rather surprising, actually.
Johnson -- yes.
The other two? One is a HOF'er who threw his no-hitters during the period of 1895-1905. The other (probably won't be in the HOF, in my opinion) threw his no-no's during the period of 1995-2005.

My son had the answers: Cy Young, Hideo Nomo.
