David Andrew Stieb was a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. Born on July 22, 1957 in Santa Ana, California, he played for the Blue Jays from 1979 to 1992 and again in 1998. On September 2, 1990, he pitched the first (and so far only) no-hitter in Blue Jays history, defeating the Cleveland Indians 3-0. Previously, Stieb had no-hitters broken up with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning in two consecutive 1988 starts. In 1989 he had yet another no-hit bid broken up with two out in the ninth; this was a potential perfect game. In 1993 he played with the Chicago White Sox.

Stieb was among league leaders in innings pitched, complete games, and ERA consistently while the Jays were making the transition from an expansion team to a contender.
Stieb had a team-record streak of 26 scoreless innings in 1985 and led the AL with a 2.48 ERA, the fifth consecutive season he was Blue Jay team leader in ERA.
Stieb pitched a one-hitter against the Brewers in May, allowing only a single to B.J. Surhoff, and in his last two starts of the season he was one strike away from a no-hitter, only to settle for one-hitters each time.
