While certainly not a high-profile performer, this is interesting in that he is the only person to be associated with a certain achievement.

He pitched this game for the Houston Colt 45s before they became the Astros.

Armando Galarraga won a 1 hit no hitter. Or “the 28-out perfect game.”

Seems to be the pinnacle of his career since he’s playing for the Pericos de Puebla these days.

"The answer, unofficially, would be Andrew Hawkins on July 1, 1990 vs the Chicago White Sox, playing at Comiskey Park in Chicago. The Yanks lost the game 4-0, setting the largest margin of loss in a no-hitter for the entire 20th century. However, technically the answer would be no one, since the no-hitter no longer counts. "

"However, on September 4 1991, The Committee for Statistical Accuracy, ruled that a pitcher must throw a minimum of 9 complete innings for a no-hitter to count. Since the Yanks were the visiting team, and losing after their half of the 9th ining, the game was over without Hawkins taking the mound in the bottom of the 9th, meaning he only pitched 8 complete innings and thus, he lost credit for the no-hitter because of the ruling. "
