The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League Baseball franchise currently based in Los Angeles.
 They play in the National League West division.
 The franchise joined the American Association in 1884 as the "Brooklyn Atlantics".
 They have been known in their early years as the "Brooklyn Grays" (1885–87), "Brooklyn Bridegrooms" (1888–90, 1896–98), "Brooklyn Grooms" (1891–95), "Brooklyn Superbas" (1899–1910, 1913), "Brooklyn Robins" (1914–31), and "Brooklyn Dodgers" (1911–12, 1932–57).
 There have been 20 pitchers for the Dodgers that have thrown 25 no-hitters in franchise history.
 A no-hitter is officially recognized by Major League Baseball only "...when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings.
 In a no-hit game, a batter may reach base via a walk, an error, a hit by pitch, a passed ball or wild pitch on strike three, or catcher's interference".
 No-hitters of less than nine complete innings were previously recognized by the league as official; however, several rule alterations in 1991 changed the rule to its current form.
 A no-hitter is common enough that only one team in Major League Baseball has never had a pitcher accomplish the feat.
