Back in the old days, everybody. The last guy to do it was Wilbur Wood of the White Sox on 7/20/1973. Don't get too excited though - he was only able to do it because in game 1, he only faced 6 batters, all of whom reached base to start the game, then got yanked without recording an out. Then, in game 2, he got spanked pretty badly again - 7 runs in 4.1 ip. In other words, don't try this at home.
