Earl Wilson
By Brownie Macintosh

As a boy I followed the red sox every day. I remember pitcher Earl Wilson pitching a no-hitter for the sox I believe in June of 1962. Wilson was one of the few "good hitting" pitchers of the day and knocked a home run, the first of two runs scored by Boston. He actually won his own no-hitter, but no one ever credited him for that. I was so dis-appointed that the papers the next day did not credit this man for winning his own no-hitter. This has stayed with me through the years, and I even wrote to the Boston Globe but nothing ever came back. I think that Mr. Wilson should be acknowledged for winning his own no hitter, because in fact, he did.
