OT: Justin Verlander 3rd No-Hitter

[Fred]

Ok, I"m assuming there's a connection to Verlander in here somewhere.....

Do you have any of the glass negatives of Larry? You have to figure, if you're all in on the card board, might as well be all in on the entire Larry collection.

Barry,

John is the reason so many people can't get a Larry card.... I'd love to have a London Larry but I'm sure it's not to be.... not a bucket list card, but it's one I'm looking for....

Verlander threw his third no-hitter. Corcoran was the first to throw three no-hitters

There it is! I've got to believe that the Larry collection has got to be the biggest collection of a single player assembled by a single collector of a player from the N172 series. Sooooo, can you post your glass negative of Larry? I'm sure you have at least one, if not the entire run....

I think Kevin owns one. I don't have anything else Corcoran except an old picture from before he made the majors and I don't have a scan of that available.

I had to laugh at the red highlighted text above. It's not that you need anything else How many glass negatives do you think exist of Larry? Do you think there's a glass negative for each variation? If so, there's got to be a few of them out there. I'd figure you'd have at least one because you've got just about everything else! Would you crap your pants if someone found an uncatalogued pose of Corcoran? Just kidding - however if that did happen I'm guessing you'd be "all in" on that one.

[oldjudge]

Corcoran only has two poses; I’m sure John means variations. Tough to get other cards of Corcoran. The only ones I can think of are his N167, his NY Kalamazoo Bats, and his Gypsy Queen, and all are very rare.

[tedzan]

Speaking about pitchers with 2 no-hitters, here's one of my favorite T206 guys......

October 4, 1891, the last day of the season, Ted Breitenstein made his 1st Major League start with the St Louis Browns, and threw a No-Hitter
against the Colonels. He Walked just one batter, who was erased by a double play. Therefore, Ted pitched only to 27 batters ("Perfect game" ?).

April 22, 1898 with the Cincinnati Reds, Ted pitched his 2nd No-Hitter, this time against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Offer John a good trade item. That's always your best chance.

I was watching the game on t.v. and as soon as it ended they flashed the graphic with the 6 guys to throw 3 or more and Todd Kalas was asking Geoff Blum about Corcoran. I was pretty sure I was going to see a Corcoran thread on here after that. I bet we see another one after Mike Fiers hurls his third.

Mike Fiers has a grand total of two complete games in his career...and both were no-hitters.

What does that tell us about the next time Fiers pitches a complete? It will be a no-no, well, at least a shut out..... That's a really weird stat.

--Nice card, Carl.

More Fiers trivia..He led the Astros in innings pitched in 2017 and was left off the playoff roster. If he somehow were to get to 4 and tie Koufax, he'd have to be considered for the HOF. He's having a nice year for the A's.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works...
