Joseph Bernard Millay (25 June 1914 - 26 November 2001) was a Minor League Baseball pitcher for the Superior Blues in 1936 and the Winnipeg Maroons in 1937-1938. Millay left professional baseball in 1938 when his father, who managed a bakery in Evansville, Indiana, was severely injured in an oven explosion.
Joe Millay graduated from Reitz Memorial High School in Evansville, Indiana in 1933. He graduated with his B.A. in Physical Education from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1937.[1]
According to a 1945 Ripley's Believe It or Not article, Joe Millay holds the distinction of being the only athlete in history to achieve perfection in three sports in the same year. In 1938, Millay rolled a 300 in bowling, scored an ace in golf, and pitched a no-hit, no-run game for a professional baseball team. In his lifetime, Millay scored two aces in golf, pitched two no-hit games in professional baseball, and rolled 13 perfect games in bowling.[2]
