July 1, 1973 At California, the Twins' Jim Kaat fires a one-hitter to beat the Angels, 2 – 1. Frank Robinson's home run in the 2nd is the only hit. This is the second time in his career that Robby hits a home run to break up a no-hitter — he did it July 30, 1971 against Kansas City's Dick Drago.

Today's Daily Highlights

Three no-hitter stories on the same date: Walter Johnson throws one in 1920 — but loses it in the 9th when his own second baseman commits an error. Bob Feller throws his third career no-hitter in 1951. And Andy Hawkins throws a complete no-hitter in 1990 — and still loses 4-0 when his outfielders drop two fly balls. Also: Whitey Ford's MLB debut, Hank Greenberg's dramatic return from WWII, 12 classic broadcasts, and today's Vintage Commercial: Colgate Tooth Powder.
