Correct. It was the first, and to date still the only, MLB game where both teams combined for 1 hit in 9 innings.
One down six to go.

Who am I?
I am the only NBA player to have been born in the state of New Hampshire.
I graduated from University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, (high honours), and a 3.96 Grade Point Average. I won Academic All-American of the Year for the sport of basketball in my Junior and Senior seasons.
I was an NBA 2nd round draft pick, (Chicago Bulls), and subsequently traded to the Toronto Raptors before turning pro. I spent one season in the Italian League.
I am the only Raptors rookie to play in all 82 regular season games. I posted a career high .533 Field Goal Percentage as a Raptors' rookie.
My 3 Point Percentage was above .400 in 9 of my 12 NBA seasons, with a career average of .414.
I am a two-time NBA Champion.
I attempted to obtain Canadian citizenship in order to qualify for the Olympics games, but my application was denied.
I was the only player in the NBA who wore New Balance shoes, even though I didn't have an endorsement deal with them.
In my 12 season NBA career, I started 112/792 career regular season games. More than half of those starts were in one season in which I posted career highs in Minutes Played, (23.8), Rebounds, (4.8), Assists, (1.0), Steals, (0.6), and Points, (8.2).

Who had a no-hitter in his Major League Baseball career, which lasted three months and one day?
Who am I?
I pitched my first no-hitter in my fifth Major League start.
I have the fewest lifetime wins, (54), among pitchers who threw more than one no-hitter in the Modern Era, (post 1900).
I pitched 200 or more innings in four different seasons, but I pitched fewer than 60 innings after my 30th birthday.
Despite only winning 54 games, I had 45 career complete games, 15 of which were shutouts.
I was the General Manager of a World Series Championship team.
For many years, I held sole possession of the Major League record for having struck out in 37 consecutive games in which I was in the starting lineup. That record was tied by Aaron Judge in 2017.
I had a .098 slugging percentage in 338 career at bats, with eight career RBI's.

Out of all those clues you listed there was only one that led me to the answer. That was the attempt to obtain Canadian citizenship. I recall that dragged out over months, if not years.

On June 23, 1917, in the first game of a doubleheader against the Washington Senators, Babe Ruth walked the leadoff man, then he was ejected by the home plate umpire. The baserunner was caught stealing, and relief pitcher Ernie Shore retired the next 26 Senators' batters.
This was considered a Perfect Game, (with asterisk), until 1991, when Major League Baseball's Committee on Statistical Accuracy amended it to be listed as a combined no-hitter.
Correct, (Babe).

Who am I?
In my final season of Canadian Junior Hockey, I scored 36 more points than any other Junior player, but I was only a third round pick, (#47 overall), in the NHL entry draft.
With a reputation for being too slow of a skater to succeed in the NHL, I played almost three full seasons in the AHL. I have the dubious honour of holding the career points scoring record for my NHL team's AHL affiliate.
After playing 13 NHL games for the team that drafted me, I was traded in the offseason for a 4th round pick, two years later. I scored 51 goals in 68 games for my new team's affiliate in the IHL before returning to the NHL. I played 94 regular season games that year, split between the NHL and the IHL, which might be a Professional hockey record.
When I finally had the chance to play regularly in the NHL, I had five seasons with 24 or more goals, but I never had scored 30 or more in an NHL season, as I had done four times in the AHL/IHL, and three times in Major Junior.
Four times in my career, I received votes for the Frank J Selkie Trophy, awarded annually to the National Hockey League forward who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive component of the game.
As of the 2022-23 NHL season, I hold the NHL record for the highest face-off winning percentage in a career (62.86%)
