If you're into Baseball and Stats.........
Here's a list from Bill James of the pitchers who according to statistics should have thrown the most no-hitters. As you can see poor Don Sutton is the pitcher who most should have thrown a no-hitter, but didn't. I didn't realize Clemens has not thrown one. He better play again next year. This guy Bill James writes great books if you're into statistics and baseball.
