YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!
1976 John Candelaria tosses a no-hitter as the Pirates tackle the Dodgers. It was only the second no-hitter in Pirates history – the last one in 1907 by Nick Maddox.
1976 Cesar Cedeno clocks four hits and completes the cycle in a 10 – 1 win over Cincinnati. It’s his second cycle in four years.
2002 Barry Bonds hits his 600th homer of Kip Wells (amazingly, just six weeks after hitting his 500th homer).
