Frank Smith's No-Hitter

DateSep 20, 1908
ScoreAthletics 0, White Sox 1
TypeNo hitter

The Chicago White Sox held the Philadelphia Athletics without a hit on September 20, 1908, winning 1–0. Frank Smith started the game for the Chicago White Sox.

It was played at South Side Park III in Chicago. The announced attendance was 15,000. Eddie Plank started for the Philadelphia Athletics. Jack Egan 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.
