THIS is the most incredibly lucky thing I have seen in my whole life:
CONSECUTIVE STARTS - PERFECT GAME, THEN A NO HITTER!!!!!!!

Perfect game -

No-Hitter (just one walk allowed!)

I calculated the actual odds of this occurring using the actual player at bats and X chart results for the actual fielders.
THE ODDS OF THIS HAPPENING IN BACK TO BACK STARTS WERE 55 MILLION TO ONE. 55,000,000:1.
I went out and bought a lottery ticket later that day. No luck on that.
