About Metropolitan Stadium's history
Every game, no-hitter and postseason series here comes from MLB's game-by-game records, which start in 1901 and miss a few early games. A no-hitter counts when a single team is held hitless over 9 or more innings, MLB's 1991 definition; a perfect game when nobody reaches base. Park factors, which measure how a park plays today, are on the pages for the 30 current parks.
