Partsdude Prolific Registered: Thu Dec 23 1999 Posts: 1509 Loc: Michigan USA	Right on CC! The usual answer I get is Satchel Paige. In fact, the original Trivial Pursuit Genus edition has Paige as the answer. The first black pitcher to throw a no-hitter is Sam Jones. _________________________ Don't look back, something might be gaining on you. -Satchel Paige

(See Useless Facts, if you haven't been exposed to moosetik) My reference actually has verbatim what I typed. It obviously needs clarification. I will see where the quip went awry. Good astute catch you guys! [This message has been edited by TexasJoe (edited 01-20-2000).] _________________________ In The Neighborhood? houseofproctor.com ..

TexasJoe Multiloquent Registered: Tue Oct 05 1999 Posts: 3171 Loc: Plano, Texas	Erroneous Posting. CC & PD are correct without doubt. The Webmaster of the page I referenced said it was in error from a Black History Posting and he would remove. Sorry about the mis information!
