. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Steve Busby, who pitched a no-hitter as a rookie with the Royals against the Tigers April 27, 1973, turned in the second gem of his brief career in a 2-0 victory over the Brewers. A walk to George Scott in the second inning was the only thing that kept the young righthander from posting a perfect game. [The Sporting News]
