MLB has seen over 300 no-hitters, sound some of them were bound to be bad, right? At least bad in relation to typical no-hitters. Here are some examples: the Edwin Jackson no-hitter, the Alec Mills no-hitter, the Dock Ellis no-hitter, and the Ken Johnson no-hitter loss. I’ve always loved bad no-hitters, so I decided to dig up as many as I could possibly fit into a video. Of course, the hook here is the Dock Ellis LSD game. That’s pretty unique story in baseball history.

In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, we’ll talk about games pitched by the likes of Ed Lafitte, Ken Holtzman, and Steve Barber. We’ll focus on some unofficial no-hitters. Remember Hunter Greene’s no hitter loss? Remember the Andy Hawkins no-hitter? The Madison Bumgarner 7-inning no-hitter? They all get mentioned.

We’ll also clarify the difference between an official and unofficial no-hitters. The no-hitter rules were clarified in 1991, with specific requirements for innings and hits allowed. I hope you enjoy this presentation about the worst no-hitters in MLB history.
