June 30, 1908, At New York's Hilltop Park, Boston Red Sox ace Cy Young pitches the third no-hitter of his career when he shuts down the New York Highlanders, 8-0. Young almost duplicates his perfect game of 1904, walking just one batter – leadoff hitter Harry Niles. Niles is then caught stealing and the next 26 batters make out. Young also tallies three hits and drives in half the Pilgrims' runs off Rube Manning. At 41 years and 3 months, he is the oldest pitcher to turn the no-hit trick. Nolan Ryan will beat him in 1990 at the age of 43.

In 1962, Sandy Koufax threw a no-hitter against the Mets — and opened the game with an immaculate inning, striking out the side on 9 pitches. No other pitcher in MLB history has ever paired those two feats in the same game.
