2. Dave Righetti Throws No-Hitter — 1983
Left-hander Dave Righetti masterfully pitched a no-hitter against the arch-rival Boston Red Sox, becoming the first Yankee since Don Larsen (perfect game in 1956 World Series) to no-hit a team.
He struck out nine in the brilliant performance which put Yankee Stadium in an uproar. Striking out Wade Boggs to end the ballgame, Righetti completed what was a dream day in the Bronx.
