1990: Dave Stewart and Fernando Valenzuela pitch two 'no-hitter' baseball games on the same day a feat accomplished only one other time in professional baseball (1898). Thirty minutes before the Dodgers faced the St. Louis Cardinals , Fernando Valenzuela noticed on a clubhouse television set that Oakland pitcher Dave Stewart had thrown a no-hitter in Toronto. Fernando turned to some teammates and he said, 'That's great, now maybe we'll see another no-hitter,' Valenzuela then pitched as well as he predicted, throwing the first no-hitter of his career in a 6-0 victory.
It was the first (and only) time in the modern baseball era that two no-hitters have been pitched on the same day. ''Fernando even said after watching it on TV, he said there might be another one tonight,'' Tommy Lasorda, the Dodgers' manager, said. ''So that was a pretty good prediction.'' It was a joke, Valenzuela insisted. ''Yeah,'' Lasorda said, ''but it happened.''
