Box Score of the Week

 New York Giants at Cincinnati Reds - June 16, 1941


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


Reds pitcher Johnny Vander Meer is best known for being the only pitcher in MLB history to pitch a no-hitter in consecutive starts. However, his performance in this game is noteworthy for all the wrong reasons. Vander Meer walked the first four hitters of the game, becoming the first (though not only) pitcher to "accomplish" such a feat.
