Ted Lilly--2009
On Sunday night against the crosstown
rival White Sox and in front of a national
TV audience; Chicago Cubs' lefty Ted
Lilly came within three outs of twirling the
fourth no-hitter of the 2010 Major
League season.
Because he came up short in his no-hit
bid, the Chicago hurler remains the
second most popular Lilly ever... still
ranking behind the lovely Lilly Munster.
Too bad for Lilly... no-hitters are cool!
Editor's Note: While Lilly and Gavin
Floyd offered dueling no-hitters through
six innings, ESPN noted on the screen,
the infamous double no-hitter by Fred
Toney and Hippo Vaughn on May 2,
1917. We featured Fred Toney's card in
early May. Here is the link to it in case
