The 1990 Detroit Tigers season saw the record broken of "The Hebrew Hammer" by whom?
Hank Greenberg Henry Benjamin "Hank" Greenberg (born Hyman Greenberg; January 1, 1911 – September 4, 1986), nicknamed "Hammerin' Hank", "Hankus Pankus", or "The Hebrew Hammer", was an American professional baseball player and team executive. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB), primarily for the Detroit Tigers as a first baseman in the 1930s and 1940s. A member of the Baseball Hall of Fame and a two-time MVP winner, he was one of the premier power hitters of his generation and is widely considered as one of the greatest sluggers in baseball history. He had 47 months of military service including service in World War II, all of which took place during his major league career.
List of Toronto Blue Jays no-hitters The Toronto Blue Jays are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Formed in 1977, they play in the American League East division. Pitchers for the Blue Jays have thrown one no-hitter in franchise history, which was accomplished by Dave Stieb on September 2, 1990, after losing three no-hit bids with two outs in the ninth inning. A no-hitter is officially recognized by Major League Baseball only “when a pitcher (or pitchers) retires each batter on the opposing team during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings”. No-hitters of less than nine complete innings were previously recognized by the league as official; however, several rule alterations in 1991 changed the rule to its current form. A no-hitter is rare enough that one team in Major League Baseball has never had a pitcher accomplish the feat.
