Scratched from the books were Ernie Shore's perfect game and the link. They didn't even make a new category, like "oddball games." Nope. They just scratched them out all together from the annals.

On Sept. 4, 1991 the Committee for Statistical Accuracy, appointed by Commissioner Fay Vincent, changed the definition of a no-hitter to require that a pitcher throw at least nine full innings and a complete game. Since Hawkins played for the visiting team in the game in question, the White Sox never batted in the ninth inning, Hawkins lost the credit for a no-hitter. From Wikipedia:

I believe that the reason the Hawkins game is not an official no-hitter is because he only pitched 8 innings, not becuse he lost the game. Andy - are you sure about that?

Thanks for pointing that out, apelham. Hmm, my search was for individual games so it doesn't include any combined no-hitters. Thanks for pointing that out, apelham.

Poor Andy Hawkins didn't make the list. Is there any reason why you made it so the pitcher won? Poor Andy Hawkins didn't make the list.
