Fast Facts

• Rainey won a career high 14 games for the Cubs in 1983.

The no-hitter would have been the first by a Cub (and, in fact, the first one the Cubs had been involved in) since Milt Pappas in 1972.

• On December 10, 1982, he was traded by the Boston Red Sox to the Chicago Cubs for Doug Bird.
