St. Louis Cardinals – Getting to Know the St. Cardinal No-Hitter Pitchers
Different sports have jargons. It is hard to understand the annotators of the game if you have no clue what they are talking about. They specifically use terms that describe the actions of the players. For example, in American football, when the player in possession of the ball looses the ball, it is termed as fumble. In volleyball, when a player saves the ball from the powerful spike of the opponent, it is termed as a dig. In basketball, when the defensive player gets hold of the ball from the opposing player while dribbling the ball or transitioning to a play, they call it a steal. There are many terms used when you want to talk about a particular sport. They term it rather than describing it because it speeds up communication among players and coaches during time-outs.
Baseball is also a game with its own terms. No-hitter is one of them. This is describes a particular player who prevents the other team from making a hit and is commonly expected of a pitcher. Not all of them have this ability but the St. Louis Cardinals pitchers did. They had nine of them who were able to make 10 no-hitters. If you want to know them, check them out below:
1. Bob Forsch- He was made two no-hitter pitches back in 1978 and 1983. He is one of the greatest pitchers in the MLB because of his ability to shutout teams and his 67 complete games. No wonder this person deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
2. Bob Gibson- This person played for the team from 1959-1975. He pitched for the team and played for two World Series, at the same time became MVP in those wins.
3. Bud Smith- He achieved this when he was still a rookie. It was in 2001 that he did not allow a single batter from San Diego Padres to hit one of his pitches.
4. Jesse Haines- This person threw a no-hitter in 1924. That was the game against the Atlanta Braves. He pitched for two World Series Titles and he is now a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
5. Jose Jimenez- He only spent a year with the team and had his no-hitter pitch against the Arizona team back in 1999. Unfortunately, this person was tested for prohibited substances and was found to be using them. Because of this, he was kicked out from the league.
6. Paul Dean- He made the Detroit Tigers very disappointed when he made sure that none of them would hit the ball in the 1934 World Series. He only stayed with the St. Louie Cardinals for 5 years, wherein he had the best moments of his career.
7. Lorn Warneke- His no-hitter pitch occurred in 1941 with the game against Cincinnati Reds. He had another no-hitter pitch but it occurred during his playing years with The Cubs.
8. Ray Washburn-His no-hitter pitch occurred in 1968 during their match with the San Fransisco Giants. He pitched for one World Series and three National League Championships.
9. Ted Breitenstein- He threw a no-hitter in 1891 during their match against the Louisville Colonel and 1898 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He pitched for one New League Era Championships and was named 2-time winner of a National League Leader for pitching a complete game.
