That has occurred once in MLB ... Bob Feller of the 1940 Cleveland Indians no hit the Chicago White Sox, winning 1-0, on Opening Day. The game was exciting to be sure and had a few scares for Bob Feller & the Sox. In the 2nd inning 3 walks loaded the bases for the Sox, with 2 outs. Feller struck out the next batter to end the threat. Also, in with two down in the 9th, the Sox mounted a rally but it failed. Feller was the first pitcher to have a no hit day opener since Red Ames in 1909.

How many balk calls are there?

There is only one call for a balk. When a pitcher is in the stretch and a runner or runners are on base, the pitcher must pause before throwing to homeplate. There can also be a balk called on the pitcher if he makes a move to throw out someone at first base, but doesn't actually throw the ball. (No fake throws to first allowed!) The last reason for a balk to be called is if a pitcher begins to move his front leg towards homeplate, but does not throw the ball to home. (Or simply pitch to the batter). A balk results in baserunners advancing one base.
