No-Hitter Regains Item Important To Siebert
Sonny Siebert recalls pitching with a sprained right index finger during 1966 spring training and finally delivering a no hitter on June 10 against the Washington Senators. He credits adjustments in delivery and leverage, notes expectations about Sam McDowell, and reflects on the reaction and lasting impact of the feat.
