List of clubs to be no-hit most frequently
Every franchise has been on the wrong end of a no-hitter at least twice. Understandably, the two teams at the top of the list go back to the earliest days of the National League. At the other end of the spectrum, 13 teams in the bottom half were expansion franchises that began play after 1960.
