Deacon Phillippe's No-Hitter

The Louisville Colonels held the New York Giants without a hit on May 25, 1899, winning 7–0. Deacon Phillippe started the game for the Louisville Colonels.

It was played at Eclipse Park II in Louisville. The announced attendance was 1,000. Ed Doheny started for the New York Giants. Bob Emslie umpired behind the plate. It was played in daylight, as every game was: the first night game in the major leagues came in 1935.

The game log records each side's starting pitcher rather than everyone who appeared, so where a no-hitter was finished by a second pitcher this page names the man who began it. No-hitters before 1898 are missing from this archive for a related reason: the game logs carry no hit totals at all for the 1880s and only part of the 1890s, so there is nothing to read them off.
