On July 15, 1973, the Angels Nolan Ryan pitches his second career no-hitter and his second of the season a 6-0 shutout versus the Tigers in Detroit, with a major league record seventeen strikeouts in a no-hitter.
The "Ryan Express" was so on that day, Norm Cash came to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning and resorts to using a piano leg to get a hit. Home plate umpire Ron Luciano, nearly falling down laughing at this ruse, makes him use a real bat.
Cash flied out to left-field, ending the game.
