Collector David Smith from Maine worked on a project in 1989 that ultimately made its way into my no-hitter collection. Definitely a collector after my own heart!
He had 9 pitchers of no-hit games ranging from 1938-1981 sign this 8 x 11 sheet and add the dates of their corresponding no-hitter games.
Sadly, 7 of these gentlemen are now deceased.
Pitchers that signed the sheet are:
Johnny "Double No-Hit" Vander Meer (D)
Ewell "The Whip" Blackwell (Vander Meer's teammate on the Reds during the 1940's) (D)
Allie "Super Chief" Reynolds (D)
Carl "Oisk" Erskine
Bob Lemon (D)
Rex Barney (D)
Bob "Smiley" Keegan (D)
Harvey "The Kitten" Haddix (D) 12+ innings of perfection!
Len Barker- Perfect game
Cool pickup for under $5 per autograph. Think you could get that done today?
