A couple of no-hitters in 1908 broke the drought, with Heinie Berger (CLE) and Bill Foxen (PHI) both going 9 without giving up a hit. Although Foxen walked 9 and gave up 2 runs, but still won.

I told him that I wanted to be a real major league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he'd like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish."
