Thanks Ty,
I knew about Tommy Bridges' near Perfect Game and No-Hitter but not Boland.

Welcome. I did not know about Bridges. I vaguely remember Boland from my reading on Cobb.

I still get angry anytime I hear the name Jerry Hairston. I was 9 years old and watch the whole game, only to devastated by Jerry. It was a solid single. Nothing cheap about it. His son's name gets under my skin when I hear it.
