Did You Know?
- Bobby Burke insisted after the game that he threw only five curveballs during his no-hitter and relied almost exclusively on his fastball.
- Burke was primarily a reliever and his last six appearances prior to his no-hitter had come as a reliever.
- His last start before this was on July 2 when he allowed four runs to the St. Louis Browns in 2 1/3 innings on four hits and five walks.
- In his 10-year career Burke appeared in 254 games, but only 88 as a starter, and he never won more than 8 games in a season.
