Rick Anderson of Jackson (Texas League) pitches a 8–0 no-hitter against Shreveport.
»March 27, 1987: In what will turn out to be an extremely lopsided trade, the Mets send C Ed Hearn and minor leaguers Rick Anderson and Mauro Gozzo to the Royals in exchange for David Cone and minor leaguer Chris Jelic. Cone will blossom into one of the National League's better starters, posting a 20-3 record for the Mets in 1988.
