Sandy Koufax pitched for the Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Dodgers and no one else.

I still don't get why post season stats are separate from regular season stats. Sorry a little off topic.

Sandy Koufax pitched for the Dodgers and he never threw 2 no-hitters in the same season.

Weird I was just reading about this like 15 minutes ago...

Dammit people stop ruining my dream of Koufax throwing two no hitters.

He did, he threw 4 no-hitters just not any in the same season.

You forgot the most amazing of them.

Virgil Trucks, who pitched 2 for Detroit in 1952, a year he went 5-19

and Kofaux who pitched 4, one in each of four consecutive years.

never even heard of Virgil Trucks, interesting though that he went 5-19. Tigers must have been sorry that year.

Can't believe I totally missed this... and watching preseason basketball!!

Virgil Oliver "Fire" Trucks actually had a nice career. Pitched in the Big Leagues from 1941 to 1958.
Was a 2x All-Star with a 177-135 ERA 3.39 lifetime record. He was 20-10 the year after that 5-19 season.
Saw him pitch many times.
