Today marks the anniversary of no-hitters thrown by the Chicago White Sox’s Ed Walsh (107 years) and the New York Yankees’ Monte Pearson (80 years).

On Sunday, August 27, 1911, Walsh no-hit the Boston Red Sox for a 5-0 win at Comiskey Park.

Pearson threw his no-no against the Indians during the nightcap of a Saturday doubleheader at Yankee Stadium on August 27, 1938. The Yankees topped Cleveland 13-0.
