” “Koufax pitched a no-hitter.” Drysdale’s response was, “Did the Dodgers win?” “

Ah, brings back fond memories of when the Yankee’s Andy Hawkins threw a no-hitter against the White Sox - and lost the game 4 to 0.

Interestingly, that Andy Hawkins no-hitter was removed from the record books a few years ago. Because the Yankees were the visiting team and were trailing after the top of the ninth, he only pitched eight innings in a complete-game loss.

MLB no longer counts a game as an official no-bitter unless the pitcher goes at least nine innings. Most of the ones they eliminated were rain-shortened games.
