Babe Ruth pitched 4 straight balls and then assaulted the umpire and was ejected. Ernie Shore came in AND BEFORE HE THROUGH A PITCH he PICKED THE RUNNER OFF of 1st base on one throw and then he proceeded to retire every batter.

ESPN cut to the game late when the no-no was still a possibility (Jinx!) and we saw the 9th inning. I really wanted that, although my favorite Petey games are the 17-strikeout classic against the Yankees, and the warrior performance in relief against the Indians in the 1999 ALDS.

He's certainly had plenty of complete games, though we'll probably never see one again. I think you meant to write that Pedro never threw a no-hitter in a complete game.
