Caption says it all, from this day in 1921.
Bill Gatewood of the Detroit Stars pitches the first no-hitter in the history of the Negro National League, defeating the Cuban Stars, 4 - 0. The black leagues are now incorporated into the National League for history and statistical purposes, an omission that was only recently corrected.
Gatewood was already 39 years old at the time and had been involved in baseball for many years. He'd go on to be a manager in the black leagues but at some point he slipped into obscurity. He died in 1962 at age 81 and was buried in an unmarked grave, something that was only corrected in 2010.
On this day, the British government declared an end to reprisal burnings of houses in Ireland as they tended to end up burning manor houses, which tended to belong to wealthy Protestant loyalist.
Oops.
