Let us see....
In total, we've had 104 No-Hitters. Two Perfect Games - one by Jake Weimer of Pittsburgh against the Cardinals in 1904 and the other by Bill Doak of Washington against the Indians in 1917.
Jake Weimer would also toss a NH in 1906 against the Phillies.
Oddly enough, Dick Radatz came in as a closer for the Phillies in 1960 but would have a 15 year career as a starting pitcher. He went 188-132 with 18 saves (15 in his first year, 3 in his second) and a 3.20 ERA in almost 3000 IP with 3353 Ks. He was dominant in the first six or seven seasons as a starter, however, getting a 12 strikeout No-Hitter with 0 BBs against the Pirates. Unfortunately for him, someone must have gotten on via an error or something (maybe on a strikeout in the dirt?).
Nolan Ryan had two NHs in 1968 and again in 1969. They were the only two NHs in that timespan.
Frank Kreutzer tossed three, one in 1965, '69 and again in '73.
Ray Washburn had one in '62 and in '75.
Charles Hudson had one in '82 and '86.
That's it. Kreutzer obviously leads with three.
At the end of the 2008 season, the last No-Hitter baseball saw was in September of 2005 when David Bush shutout the Athletics while pitching for the Yankees.
