This question was previously answered correctly by ICEDOG, but I neglected to update the question post, so there's no Too Slow for you.
Just a reminder that any post in this thread which does not quote a question post is considered to be banter.
The following questions relate to MLB no-hitters thrown in the modern era:
1) There has been only one pitcher/catcher duo in MLB history to complete a no-hitter, and subsequently both made the hall of fame. Name both players.
2) Two pitcher/catcher duos have combined for 2 no-hitters in the same season. Each duo's no-hitters were in a different year than the other duo's no-hitters. Name either duo.
3) Two pitchers in MLB history have thrown a no-hitter in their second pitching appearance in the majors. Name either player.

3) Wilson Alvarez is one. He made his Major League debut for the Texas Rangers vs the Blue Jays and didn't get anybody out. He was later traded to Chicago White Sox, and pitched a no-hitter in his first start for them. See post #3,031and #4,963 .
I think the other guy had a clownish nickname, Bobo something. He was in the Majors for about two months in the early 1950's.
