We wouldn't ever live long enough to see back-to-back no-hitters. Unbelievable.
Here's the last NH against the Yanks:
149 Wilhelm Hoyt 1 Triandos Gus 9/20/1958 Bal AL vs. NY AL 1-0
My sister lived in Baltimore back then and they used to call the catcher "Gus Tremendous."

Growing up listening to the Astros, I remember well in 1969 when Cincinnati's Jim Maloney threw an impressive no-hitter against the Astros in old Crosley Field. Some of the Reds post game comments intimated that maybe the Astros should consider dropping down to Triple A.
The very next day, the Astros Don Wilson threw a dominant no-hitter against the Reds (15 strikeouts). Wilson's post game comments were not jubilant. He was somewhat defiant, stating that he felt a compulsion to show the Reds that "the Astros were major leagurs too!"
