Mike Ruddell
Attached is a photo of Ruddell which I obtained from the player. It appears to be the same fellow as in the Topps Vault photo. Regarding the two no-hitters, it would be more correct to say that he participated in two no-hitters in one season. He threw one nine-inning no-hitter by himself, and he shared in the other no-hitter with a Trois Rivieres teammate in that 1971 season. (He pitched six out of the seven innings in that second no-hitter). He pitched another no-hitter in the Eastern League in 1974. He told me that he pitched a fourth no-hitter in pro ball, but I was unable to find documentation of it. Perhaps he did, but I can't demonstrate it.
