Earl Wilson's No-Hitter
Earl Wilson threw a no-hitter for the Boston Red Sox against the Los Angeles Angels on June 26, 1962, winning 2–0.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels were one of the American League's two 1961 expansion clubs and went 70-91 in their first season, then 86-76 in their second — a third-place finish that no expansion club had managed that quickly. Four seasons at 308-338 under this name.
The 1962 club was in the pennant race into September. Nothing like it followed: the next two seasons were 70-91 and 82-80, and the club has reached one World Series in the 65 years since, under a different name.
No Hall of Famer played in these four seasons. The club shared Wrigley Field in Los Angeles for its first year and then Dodger Stadium as a tenant, and the name changed to California Angels in 1965, before the move to Anaheim.
