Very good, caughtstealing. He no-hit the Philadelphia A's on May 6th, 1953, as a member of the St. Louis Browns. It was his only complete game in the majors.

A short bio on Bobo can be found here. (http://cbs.sportsline.com/u/baseball/bol/ballplayers/H/Holloman_Bobo.html)

You'll notice that it says he was the third pitcher to accomplish this feat. Extra Credit - Why is the date 1893 significant in this instance?
