Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds. As a Reds fan growing up, he and Joe Nuxhall were burned into my trivia brain.
Vander Meer no-hit the Boston Braves on June 11, 1938. In his next start, which was also the first night game ever at Ebbets Field, he no-hit the Brooklyn Dodgers. Unfortunately, he finished his career with a sub-.500 record. Nevertheless, he is in the Reds Hall of Fame.
You didn't ask about him, but Joe Nuxhall "The Ole Lefthander," was the youngest player to ever to pitch a Major League game. He was 15 when he pitched his first game for the Reds. He's been a Reds radio broadcaster for years, and he gave me my screen name.

Johnny Vander Meer - In between games he had wild man jail sex and was arrested for disorderly conduct in Kentucky and had to take a train to get to the second game. After the game someone asked how he felt and he said "Boys, my *** hurts but at least I know how to throw balls".
