I'm happy to have recently picked up this beautiful Steve Busby 1st no hitter ticket stub from the game played on 4/27/73 @ DET.
Busby and the KC Royals defeated LP Jim Perry and the Tigers 3-0.

O/T but ironically, Tigers pitcher Jim Perry ended up being the LP in a second no-hitter less than 3 months later on 7/15/73 @ DET.
The 7/15 no-hitter was the career best 17K 2nd of 7 no-hitters for HOF Nolan Ryan, the all-time No-Hit King.

Busby would pitch another no-hitter the following year, on 6/19/74 @ MILW.

Despite the 4/27/73 Busby no-hitter having over 16,000 in attendance, I have found this ticket to be unbelievably difficult to find.
In 50 years of collecting this theme I have only seen 4 ticket stubs enter the hobby, this one being the nicest example condition-wise.

Great pickup Scott. I didn't know that Busby had 2 no hitters, but do remember his career was cut short due to a shoulder injury.

Nice stuff, guys.

With all the craziness of Mantle's debut stub...I found this clean example from later that season. Mantle was 1 for 4, RBI...Joe D had a triple, multi-hit game (both, last of his career).
