Regular Season
The 1973 A’s had three 20-game winners in Jim (Catfish) Hunter, Ken Holtzman and Vida Blue.
The A's were on the receiving end of some milestones as well. On July 3, Nolan Ryan struck out Sal Bando of the Athletics for the 1000th strikeout in his career. On July 30, Jim Bibby threw the first no-hitter in Texas Rangers history as he no-hit the Athletics. The Rangers won the game 6-0.
