Many thanks to close friend and net54 board member Chris Gamble, as I was able to add this great circa 1947-1948 PM10 pinback of Cincinnati Reds no-hit pitcher Ewell Blackwell.
On June 22, 1947, Blackwell became the closest pitcher to ever match Johnny Vander Meer's historic feat of pitching back-to-back no-hitters in 1947.
Vandy was on the top step with one out in the 9th inning, waiting to congratulate his friend and teammate.
Alas, it wasn't meant to be....
75 years have passed and no one has gotten even close.
