Not exactly a household name, Cy Falkenberg pitched the second no-hitter in league history (Bill Hogg had the first) as a starter for the St. Louis Explorers in 1906. At 11-6 with a 1.97 ERA, Falkenberg has had a strong season for the 3rd place St. Louis club. He never pitched a no-hitter in real life and according to SABR he did not really have his best years until he was 32 in 1913 and developed an "emery ball."
