Name the Player

[Dryden]

I have a bizarre memory for shit like this.  Useful things, not at all, but shit like this, no problem.

[JoeDirt]

Mike Witt also pitched in a combined no hitter...

[TβG]

Mike Witt also pitched in a combined no hitter...

but he didn't pitch another one on his own as the question staed.

[ultimate7]

Arcade RBIer Rollie Fingers also pitched in a combined No-hitter (the same game as Vida Blue).  That's all for RBIers in combined no hitters.

[malnuboy]

not RBi related but a good question, Jeopordy style.

A: Last Red Sox player to homer in his first at bat with the club.

[ultimate7]

Cabrera?

[malnuboy]

Cabrera?

correct! before him it was Rob Deer.

[Gantry]

Mike Witt also pitched in a combined no hitter...

but he didn't pitch another one on his own as the question staed.

Actually, Witt pitched a perfect game as well.  He wasn't the correct answer because he wasn't in the arcade version.

I thought that was the case but look at this link:

http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/library/research_lists/combined_nohitters.htm

"Vida Blue and Kent Mercker are the only pitchers to take part in a combined no-hitter and pitch a no-hit game of their own. Blue hurled a no-hitter on his own against the Twins on September 21, 1970, and Mercker hurled a complete game no-hitter over the Dodgers on April 8, 1994."

They forgot Witt


I just sent a message to the HOF to let them know, let's see if they ever fix it.

Wow, fast response from the HOF

You should ask them to post more RBI related trivia.

Q: Whats the record for most home runs in a game?
A: Tony Armas with 7.

Q: Whats the quickest 9-inning game on record?
A: Hou vs. Stl 13 minutes.

They have since completely removed quoted statement.

[TβG]

looks like they're dedicating more time to study a. bartlett giamatti for some reason.

Ruppert

[fightonusc]

I prefer to spend my time studying Paul Giamatti. And then masturbating furiously while crying.

Good question Shitpaw.  I'm going to guess Wade Boggs (Tampa Bay) and/or Andres Galarraga (Colorado).  If that's not right i have two other guesses, but i'm more confident with Boggs/Galarraga.
