Kenneth Travis Johnson (born June 16 1933 in West Palm Beach, Florida) is a former right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Houston Colt .45s who, on April 23, 1964, became the first and so far only pitcher to lose a complete game no-hitter in nine innings when he was beaten 1-0 by the Cincinnati Reds after Pete Rose reached second base on an error (by Johnson himself), went to third on a ground-out, and scored on a second error. The next week he appeared on "I've Got a Secret" where panelist Henry Morgan described the loss as "the saddest story of the year."
He pitched for the Kansas City Athletics (1958-61), Cincinnati Reds (1961), Houston Colt .45/Astros (1962-65), Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves (1965-69), New York Yankees (1969), Chicago Cubs (1969), and Montreal Expos (1970).
