On this day back in 1917, the first no hitter in franchise history was thrown. George Mogridge was on the mound against the Red Sox at Fenway Park in a 2-1 victory, which was also the first no hitter thrown at Fenway. It remains the only no-no where the Yanks allowed a run.
Being a lefty made Mogridge highly sought after, so in 1915 the Yanks bought him from the Chicago White Sox. The Rochester native was in pinstripes until 1920 and was the work horse of his day. From 1916-1926 he averaged 191 innings pitched, including a career high 288 in 1921.
