His survivors include his wife, Nancy; his sons John, Philip and Michael; and two grandchildren. Joe Niekro died of a brain aneurysm in 2006 at 61. Niekro recorded his 300th career victory pitching for the Yankees against the Blue Jays on the final day of the 1985 regular season, stopping them 8-0.
What was in Joe Niekro pocket?
But despite the video, and perhaps despite common sense, Niekro denied that he was scuffing the ball. He said he always kept an emery board in his pocket to keep his nails in proper shape for a better grip on the knuckleball (P.S. He also had sandpaper).
Did Joe Niekro throw a no hitter?
On July 2, 1970, while with the Tigers, Niekro had a no-hitter broken up with one out in the ninth by a Horace Clarke single; this would be the only hit Niekro allowed in defeating the New York Yankees, 5–0.
