"Only a single official no-hitter has occurred within the confines of the District, and I’d be surprised if anyone is still around who saw it. Nats’ southpaw Bobby Burke no-hit Boston on Aug. 8, 1931 in front of about 3,000 fans at Griffith Stadium."
Burke also holds an unknown record: He's the only pitcher ever to pitch 10 years in the major leagues without ever winning or losing in double figures. A relatively long career with little to show for it.
