Most people go through life without ever throwing a no-hitter or taking Greg Maddux’s daughter, Paige, to the prom. Dodgers outfielder Joey Gallo isn’t most people, though, so he did both.
On the same day.
On April 14, 2012, Gallo went up against highly ranked Gloucester Catholic in the finals of the Bishop Gorman Easter Classic, and the flame-throwing Gallo hurled a no-no to win the tournament for his Bishop Gorman Gaels.
That night, Gallo went to prom with Paige Maddux.
The Dodgers scoreboard isn’t the first time this story has been told.
