Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Card of the Day - August 29, 2020



Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Card of the Day





Nick Maddox 1911 T205


Nick Maddox was called up to the big leagues and made his first appearance with the Pirates on September 13, 1907.  That day he threw a two-hit, 14 strikeout shut out of the St. Louis Cardinals.  Three days later he beat the Cardinals again, 4-2.  One week after making his major league debut, Maddox threw the first no-hitter for a Pirates pitcher, a 2-1 gem against the Brooklyn Superbas.  You can see the Retrosheet Box Score Here.
