Question
which MLB team has thrown the fewest no hitters?

Answer
Hi Rick,

There are four teams since 1901 that do not have a single no-hitter: NY Mets, Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres, and the Tampa Bay Rays. Note that all of these are expansion teams. Three other expansion teams have just one no-hitter: Arizona D-backs, Milwaukee Brewers, and Toronto Blue Jays.
