Finally, I know one. This was a question somewhere else at some point, but I believe it is Maury Wills!

You are correct. Juan Pierre of the Phillies drove in his 500th ribeye a couple of years ago. Prior to that both he and Wills had over 2000 hits with less than 500 rbis. Wills is now the only one in the >2000 hits/

I am the ONLY pitcher in MLB history to throw a No-Hitter and never win another game. Who am I?

That would be Lexington's own, Joe Cowley. I think he walked a bunch in that no-hit game.

On September 19, 1986, Cowley threw a no-hitter for the White Sox with seven walks versus the California Angels in a 7-1 victory. Cowley did not win again in 1986, and after 4 winless starts in 1987, he was released by the Philadelphia Phillies. He thus became the only pitcher in major league history never to win another game after pitching a no-hitter.

 

Cowley played for the Atlanta Braves (1982), New York Yankees (1984–1985), Chicago White Sox (1986) and Philadelphia Phillies (1987).

Staying on the no-hitter theme: Which catcher has caught the most no-hitters in MLB history?

Just guessing here because he caught Nolan Ryan a lot, but I'll go with Alan Ashby.

Solid logic but no. Later than Ryan.

 

Note: I don't think Ashby ever caught a no-hitter. Maybe he had 1.

 

Update: He caught Ryan's last no-hitter.

Hint: 4 different pitchers. Catcher is retired.

His last no-hitter? I thought Ryan no hit the Blue Jays while with the Rangers? I don't remember Ashby playing for the Rangers.

I know the Red Sox have had Lester and Nomo in recent years, and I'm thinking Buckholz. I can't think of another pitcher. Varitek?

You're right. I didn't scroll down far enough. Ashby caught #5.
