Bob Lemon

JUNE 30, 1948 — In his first full season as a full-time starting pitcher, Bob Lemon tossed a complete-game no-hitter in his 19th appearance of the 1948 season. The 6-foot, right-handed hurler recorded four strikeouts in nine stellar frames to pave the way for a 2-0 win over the Detroit Tigers. “Gee, what a thrill it was when the last out was made,” said Lemon. “The fellows on the bench didn’t talk to me from the sixth inning on. I thought at the time it was funny but wasn’t quite sure what was going on.”
