May 2, 1917 - The Cubs lefthander Hippo Vaughn and righthander
Fred Toney of the Reds toe the mound in Chicago for a
one-of-a-kind game. At the end of nine innings, both pitchers
have no-hitters. With one out in the top of the tenth and men on
second and third, Jim Thorpe hits a swinging bunt near the
mound. Vaughn picks it up and throws home, but catcher Art
Wilson freezes the ball hits his chest protector, and Larry Kopf
slides in safe for the only run. Fred Toney sets the Cubs down
in order and has the fourth ten-inning no-hitter to date.

In a way it's cool that Greenberg is still playing baseball in
an independent league. It really shows his love for the game.
He has one factor that sets him above most of his teammates and
rivals: he was in The Show. His name is in the Baseball
Encyclopedia. He stepped to the plate in the major leagues.
So don't feel sorry for him. He lived the dream, if only for a
moment. That sets him above all of us.

I wouldn't be surprised if Adam Greenberg ended up coaching or
managing in the Majors one day.

[font=times new roman, serif]May 15, 1960 - Two days after
being traded from the Phillies to the Cubs, Don Cardwell pitches
a no-hitter. Two brilliant defensive plays — a leaping catch of
Carl Sawatski's drive by right fielder George Altman in the
eighth inning and Walt Moryn's game-ending sliding grab — save
Cardwell's gem. Ernie Banks' home run paces the 4-0 win, the
first no-hitter against the Cards since May 11, 1919.[/font]

Moryn's catch was a shoestring grab off a high blade of grass.
He didn't slide.
