George Napoleon "Nap" Rucker (September 30, 1884 – December 19, 1970) was an American professional baseball pitcher and politician from Georgia.
Over his 10 seasons, Rucker led the league in shutouts, complete games, and innings pitched throughout his career.
On September 5, 1908, Rucker became the first left-handed pitcher to throw a no-hitter in Dodger history.
Inspired by a headline he worked on entitled "$10,000 For Pitching a Baseball", Rucker pursued a minor league career.
He then spent the following two years playing for the Augusta Tourists in the South Atlantic League and compiled a 40–20 win–loss record during that span.
As a player who received more than 5.0% of votes cast, Rucker remained eligible for induction by the Baseball Writers' Association of America until 1946, when his time on the ballot expired after 10 unsuccessful appearances.
