• On September 20, 1907, a 20-year old Nick Maddox threw the first no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club. Through 1907 to 1908, Maddox won 20 of his 30 starts, making him the fastest pitcher to ever reach 20 games. This mark will be tied in the future by three other pitchers, but never beaten. Maddox won the third game of the 1909 World Series win over Detroit, but was released in 1910 after winning only two games.
• The Pirates waited decades later for their next no-hitter, which was delivered by Cliff Chambers against the Braves in Boston, a 3-0 victory. Chambers walked eight and had one wild pitch, and also drove in the third run in the 8th inning. For Chambers, this is his last victory in a Pirates uniform.
• Bob Moose stops the New York Mets in New York in 1969, which became the 5th no-hitter recorded by National League pitchers, a record at the time. Moose later moved into a relief role, and in 1976 led the Pirates in saves.
• Dock Ellis might be considered the most notorious no-hitter pitcher. In his auto-biography, Dock Ellis in the Country of Baseball, Ellis revealed that he pitched his no-hitter against the San Diego Padres while under the influence of LSD. Ellis won the game 2-0, receiving his support from two Willie Stargell home runs.
• John "The Candy Man" Candelaria threw his no-hitter against the LA Dodgers, winning 2-0. Candelaria got out of a bases-loaded jam in the 3rd inning to preserve his no-hitter shut out.
• July 12, 1997 was Pittsburgh's first non-Opening Day sellout since 1977. A crowd of 44,119 see Francisco Cordova pitch 9 innings of no-hit shut out baseball against the Houston Astros. However, the Pirates were also shut out, meaning the game would need extra innings. Ricardo Rincon came in to relieve Cordova in the 10th inning. Rincon completed the performance by pitching a single inning of no-hit baseball. Rincon got the win when Mark Smith hit a three run, pinch hit home run in the bottom of the 10th. In 2000, Cordova was on his way to recording his 2nd no-hitter with the Pirates before giving up a hit in the 8th inning with one out.
