Box Score of the Week

MLB is back this week!

In honor of Opening Day this Thursday, let's look back at a memorable game from the opener in 1940 - Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox

-------------------------------------

Indians pitcher Bob Feller pitched a no-hitter, the first and only no-no to be thrown on Opening Day.

Ironically, Feller attended the Indians' 1994 opener in their brand new stadium when the opposing pitcher (Seattle Mariners hurler Randy Johnson) took a no-hitter into the 8th inning. The TV camera kept panning to Feller in the press box and he looked as if he was ready to grab a bat before Cleveland's Sandy Alomar ended Johnson's no-hit bid with a single in the eighth.
