July 15, 1876 – By George I think he’s got it! Almost 100 years to the day after a guy named George Washington was preserving freedom with patriotic forces while the Declaration of Independence was being signed by the Continental Congress, the game of baseball had its first official no-hitter declared when George Bradley of the St Louis Brown Stockings no-hits the Hartford Dark Blues team, in a 2-0 blanking.
Just to keep the George’s in order, When Bradley performed this eventful feat it was less than three weeks prior that George Armstrong Custer perished at Little Big Horn. That story may have enough Georges in it to make the Foreman family reunion!
