Christian Science Monitor
“In “Baseball’s No-Hit Wonders,” Lammers takes a topic that might seem narrowly focused and opens it up with all sorts of interesting angles.”
[image error]Jeff Ayers
The Associated Press
“… a fascinating book that will appeal to both the historian and the die-hard fan.”
[image error]Matt Sutherland
Foreword Reviews ★★★★★
“… delightfully written … story after fascinating story about the most compelling characters and unlikely events.”

“… an exuberant romp through the history of one of baseball’s most impressive achievements.”
[image error]Jon Springer
Author of Mets by the Numbers
“Like the book’s subject, Baseball’s No-Hit Wonders is full of intrigue, suspense and just enough random good fortune to go down in history. In revisiting the unforgettable and revealing the forgotten, Dirk Lammers deals a quirky treasure for baseball lovers.”
[image error]Stew Thornley
MLB Official Scorer for Minnesota Twins games
“As an official scorer, I’m aware of the tension and drama when a pitcher takes a no-hitter into the later innings. In Baseball’s No-Hit Wonders, Dirk Lammers has captured this drama and added to it with insights and analysis for those who achieved this honor. Mixed in with fun facts about more than 100 years of no-hitters, Baseball’s No-Hit Wonders is entertaining and enlightening.”
[image error]Milt Pappas
MLB pitcher 1957-1973 ('72 no-no)
“I loved reading about all of the no-hitters. There are a lot of things that I had no idea about, like “Hooks” Wiltse also losing his perfect game in the ninth inning but saving his no-hitter. Even if you do not know anything about baseball, this is a great book about the great history of the game.”
[image error]Fay Vincent
Former MLB commissioner, foreword writer
“This volume is the complete – and I mean fully complete – story of the no-hit games in the long history of Major league Baseball, and it will serve as the place to look if one wonders why baseball makes such a big deal of no-hit games. With prodigious research, Lammers has produced not just the bare bones of each no-hit game but adds to each game story the little and telling details that are so alluring.”

“I do think you have a winning idea. This is a book that should sell. Bo Belinsky was my favorite, followed by Don Larsen, and the only one I saw in person, Bob Forsch.”

Musician, The Baseball Project, The Dream Syndicate
“It’s fantastic. My kinda baseball book. Just the right combo of pure stats, information, obscure history and incisive commentary. I know I’ll be going back to it often for reference (and, hey, maybe a song or 2!).”
[image error]Mike Veeck
Minor-league baseball owner, promoter behind the Chicago White Sox’s Disco Demolition Night
“Never have so many no-nos inspired such resounding yes-yeses! A baseball research book with a sense of humor—novel concept.”
