Burkett No-Hits Chicago Monday, September 14th , 1903 The Philadelphia Phillies relied on no-hit stuff from starter Jesse Burkett to defeat the Chicago Orphans, 4-0, at West Side Grounds 1894-1915. "It's quite a thrill," Burkett told the media afterward. "This is a top-notch league. A no-hitter against any team in the league is something special. I can't believe I did it." To get his name logged in the Eastern League records, he stopped Chicago cold and hitless, surrendering 3 walks and fanning 5 of the 31 batters he faced. Philadelphia manager Jamie Perrone was in a jovial mode after the game, kidding with reporters that Burkett "made managing easy today." "I didn't have hardly any decisions to make like I usually do," he said. "I didn't even have to come up with a pinch hitter." To date this year, Burkett is batting .303 with 4 home runs.
