Kevin Hurd grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been an avid Giants fan his entire life. After graduation from college in 1979, he joined the Air Force and had a distinguished career as a KC-135 and RC-135 navigator. Deploying to fly combat missions in support of the Gulf War and the War in Kosovo, Kevin retired as a lieutenant colonel in 2014. As a high school senior, he witnessed Ed Halicki's 1975 no-hitter at Candlestick Park. That game, in part, inspired him to research and write about no-hitters. Since his retirement from his post-military career, he has devoted his time to researching no-hit games, interviewing players, analyzing statistics, and writing this book. See less
