I am not sure as to the date, but yes, Phil and Joe did face each other at least once.  Joe hit a home run off Phil, in fact, on a low knuckleball out over the plate.

No, their not related.  Greg has a brother named Mike who was also a major league pitcher but no where near as good as Greg was and is.

On May 5, 1917, Ernie Koob of the St. Louis Browns threw a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox, winning 1-0.  The next day, teammate Bob Groom did the same thing, winning 3-0.\n\nAdditional trivia: In 1969, Houston and Cincinnati traded no-hitters on consecutive days: on April 30, Jim Maloney of Cincy no-hit Houston and won 10-0; the next day, Don Wilson of Houston no-hit the Reds and won 4-0.

Nolan Ryan, Houston Astros, NL, 1979.\n\n(Funny, if Rose made a million in 1978, then why did he make $800,000 with the Phillies in 1979?  Sorry, but you're the one who is wrong.  I've found more than one source that says Nolan Ryan signed the first $1,000,000/yr contract in the history of Major League Baseball in November of 1979.)

That would be Eddie Gaedel, the midget that batted once for the St. Louis Browns back in the early 50's, maybe 1952 or '53.  He wore number 1/8 and was walked in his only plate appearance.  The owner who signed him was the legendary Bill Veeck, who was the master of the unusual promotion.  Gaedel was supposed to be a "Brownie."  St. Louis Browns...get it?  Since he walked, he ended up with no at bats, and a batting average of .000.  Not sure of the year, but it was before 1954, because that was the year the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.

Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds did it in 1938.  On June 11 he no-hit the Boston Braves, 3-0, and on June 15 he no-hit the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6-0.  Both games were away games; the second no-hitter was the first night game ever played at Ebbets Field.
