 Addie hurled two no-hitters including a 1-0 perfect game against the Chicago White Sox and fellow Hall of Famer, Ed Walsh. Baseball experts labeled this game the 'greatest ever pitched.' His untimely death at the peak of his career schocked the baseball world. Addie's career was so brilliant that he was elected to the 'Hall' despite not reaching the 10-year career minimum qualification.
