Candelaria achieved the no-hitter on the first ever "Candy Night" at Three Rivers Stadium against the Los Angeles Dodgers. During this promotion, the D. L. Clark Candy Company distributed 10,000 free candy bars to fans at the stadium. Throughout his career, Candelaria was often referred to as the "Candy Man."
