HARDY, RED (1923-2003)

Pitcher for 1951 Pennant-Winning New York Giants

A professional baseball player born in Marmarth, North Dakota, flirted with three no-hitters in a span of one month, only to lose all three no-hit bids in the latter innings.  Red Hardy, for awhile, was also a member of the 1951 New York Giants baseball team, which overcame a 13-game lead by the Brooklyn Dodgers to win the National League pennant.
