He won only 63 games in his MLB career (all but six of them for the Cubs), but for one glorious day, he was unhittable.Jimmy Lavender pitched a no-hitter in the first game of a double header in New York against the Giants on this date in 1915. He walked one and struck out eight.
Among his teammates that season were the last two remaining members of the 1908 Champs (Wildfire Schulte & Heinie Zimmerman), and the Hall of Famer Hippo Vaughn.
With the victory, the Cubs got back to .500. Unfortunately, they lost the second game and fell back under.
