Nap Rucker's No-Hitter

DateSep 5, 1908
ScoreDoves 0, Superbas 6
TypeNo hitter

The Brooklyn Superbas held the Boston Doves without a hit on September 5, 1908, winning 6–0. Nap Rucker started the game for the Brooklyn Superbas.

It was played at Washington Park III in Brooklyn. Patsy Flaherty started for the Boston Doves. Jim Johnstone 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.
