How many times have the Braves been involved in a no hitter?
It seems like we’ve been no hit quite a bit more than others, plus the occassional Mercker like no-no, I’d wonder if the Braves are near the tops among those involved either for or against.
Hmm
The Atlanta Braves have been no-hit six times. Off the top of my head, I’m not quite so familiar with all the previous names, pre-Boston Braves, but it looks like the organization was no-hit 10 times prior to the Milwaukee/Atlanta eras, with the poor Boston Braves getting no-hit six times themselves. But on the flip-side, the Boston Braves also dealt out four no-nos of their own.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Slaughter in Rome???
Okay, I know there are a lot of R-Braves enthusiasts here. I’ll “let the Sarge know,” and if anyone’s interested, we can arrange some sort of get together up in Rome . . .

does Sarge travel well?
He could do some snake hunting out here in AZ if he was in to that sort of thing.
