Just saw a wild one on instagram: Name the pitcher that threw a no-hitter 17 days after being struck by lightning.

He was struck by lightning in the 9th inning of a game and finished it after being revived :shocked: (then tossed the no-hitter 17 days later)
Harvey Haddix? Bill Singer?

Ray Caldwell

My first wife's mother grew up friends with Caldwell's niece in Corydon, PA, a town now underwater. She met Caldwell a few times. Big, big drinker

I know Croydon. There's a train station there. Is it Literally under water?

It's Corydon, not Croydon. 99%. The built the Kinzua Dam in the 60's to keep the Allegheny River from flooding. No train station there. Population 285

My bad, I'm dyslexic. Croydon is on the Delaware River next to Philadelphia.

Nailed it; I assumed the only way someone would get it was from having previously seen the factoid on social media.
Wonder if he was a big drinker before the incident....

I think so. My mother in law only met him later in life and for his short visits to Corydon (he had moved before he hit the majors). I read somewhere that Miller Huggins said Caldwell had the best stuff of anyone he never managed and would have been a HOFer if he had crawled out of the bottle. Caldwell was one of the spitballers who were allowed to throw it after the ban.

I cheated and looked at an all time WAR list. I only see 1 more that I have not already listed…

Edit: Never mind. There are 2…

There are 7 total. It looks like you only guessed 5, unless I'm missing 1. And I got it from the MLB site so it has to be right.......

One guy should be fairly obvious. The other guy if you put his name in a lightning round of Wheel of Fortune under the category "Baseball Player" I'm pretty sure I'd guess him without needing any letters.

I would need 33 guesses to get him, I think.
