dated 5/17/13, on that day Cinci lost to the Boston Braves 2-6 Henry Levai Severeid (June 1, 1891 - December 17, 1968) born in Story City, Iowa was a Catcher for the Cincinnati Reds (1911-13), St. Louis Browns (1915-25), Washington Senators (1925-26) and New York Yankees (1926) Only catcher to have Caught No-Hitters on Successive Days en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Severeid

What's even more interesting is that the successive days of catching no hitters in May of 1917 came just a few days after Fred Toney and Hippo Vaughn pitched the only double no-hitter in Major League History. Maybe the umpires that week just had huge strike zones and were in a hurry to get games over.

Nice to see HOF Zach Wheat

Thanks for providing these player's full names and background. We will update the record. I always find it interesting to see how much the old baseball cards resemble the players. I wonder if his cheeks were really that rosy?

I guess that's where the "Dots" nickname comes from...
