C C No No
Sabathia's no hitter.
There was a no-hitter a few years ago, I think maybe Bob Forsch, in which the official scorer himself on his own volition changed a call late in the game to keep a no-hitter intact. But it was a home scorer.
A few years ago, The Cubs Zambrano had a no hitter in either the 8th or the ninth, and the first base umpire blew a call. All replays showed that the runner was clearly out at first, and the ump called him safe, costing Zambrano a no-hitter. In my views, the scorer could have called the play an E-3, since he had the ball in time to retire the runner, but failed to do so. That would have been a really bizarre call, but I think justified.
In a game I was at in Cleveland, John Farrell had a no hitter going in the seventy, and a liner was hit to right. The RF made a dive for the ball sinking in front of him,, which he missed by two feet, and it went through him to the wall. The scorer callied it an error all the way, but the next batter got a clean hit that they couldn't fudge.
When Skip Caray thought the scorer missed a call, he would get up and walk over to the scorers booth and tell him to change it, and he usually did. Maybe he made a few bad calls just to get some company. I think official scoring used to be done by two guys, but I guess now it just one guy.
