Unfortunately for the Minnesota Twins, there were no Jewish holidays that would prevent Sandy Koufax from pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game Seven of the 1965 World Series. Koufax retired the first batter he faced, Donald Young, a late season call-up, on a pop-up on the second pitch of the game. Interestingly enough, it took exactly a half-century to see the Cubs get no-hit again, when the Philadelphia Phillies' Cole Hamels — later a Cub himself — no-hit them on July 25, 2015.
