Default Johnny Vander Meer demonstrating his "double no-hit" technique to hometown kids in NJ

I just picked up this neat original press photo of Vandy demonstrating the pitching technique that he used to baffle hitters in his second consecutive no-hitter in 1938 to some hometown kids in Midland Park, NJ.

Some pundits of baseball feel that this still remains one of baseball's most unassailable records. Think about it, in order to break Vander Meer's 82 year old record, a pitcher would have to throw THREE consecutive no-hitters! Yikes!!
