George Mogridge threw the New York Yankeesâ first no-hitter in 1917, a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox. Allie Reynolds is the only Yankees pitcher to throw two no-hitters, and both came during the 1951 season.
For 8,019 games, across 51 seasons, it had never happened for the Mets. Not at the Polo Grounds, not at Shea Stadium, not at Citi Field, not on the road. Not for Ryan or Seaver, not for Koosman or Matlack, not for Gooden or Cone, not for Leiter or Glavine. No Mets pitcher had ever thrown a no-hitter. Not until Friday.
