No hitter almost spoiled by Yankee loophole sparks Kuenn joy
Detroit shortstop Harvey Kuenn exults after an 8-0 Detroit win over the New York Yankees as Billy Hoeft fires a no hitter through six innings. A seventh inning Yankee infield single by Irv Noren and an eighth inning double by Jerry Coleman end the no-hit bid, Kuenn’s roommate, Hoeft, notes the single would have ruined his no-hitter.
