Scott, that Catfish Hunter perfect game ticket is sweet! Catfish was always one of my favorite players.
I've been meaning to ask you about your no hit ticket collection. Sounds like you have quite a few. Besides the obvious "very old tickets", are there any more recent tickets that you've had a hard time finding (lack of attendance, etc)? Just curious. Also, did anyone get a chance over the 4th of July weekend to see the MLB channel and their show about perfect games. It was pretty good, but what made it real interesting, at least for me, was something I didn't realize. I'm watching as Tom Browning throws a perfect game and who catches the last out...Paul O'neil...and there he is again as both Wells and Cone throw perfect-o's. How unusual that one player would participate in 3 no hitters, let alone perfect games. |

Scarce no-hitter and perfect game tickets
Quote:
Thanks! I always liked Catfish as well. Great question! Since baseball attendance is up over the last 20-25 years there aren't many recent no-hitter and perfect game tickets that I would call scarce, but there are a few. Here are some that I believe are a challenge to find: Mike Witt's perfect game (season ticket) on 9/30/84 at Texas Joe Cowley's no-no on 9/19/86 at Anaheim Mark Langston, Mike Witt combo no-hitter 4/11/90 at Anaheim Kent Mercker, Mark Wohlers, Pena combo no-hitter 9/11/91 at Atlanta Anabal Sanchez (season ticket) 9/6/06 at Miami BTW, I'm still missing a few from the 1960's and 1970's for my collection. Because I don't own them already, I know these are tough to find. I would love to locate these and would pay a finders fee to anyone that can help me locate them: Ken Johnson 4/23/64 at Houston Dave Morehead 9/16/65 at Boston Don Wilson 6/18/67 at Houston Ray Washburn 9/18/68 at SF Bill Stoneman 4/17/69 at Philadelphia Don Wilson 5/1/69 at Cincinnati Jim Palmer 8/13/69 at Baltimore Vida Blue 9/21/70 at Oakland Bill Stoneman (2nd) 10/2/72 at Montreal Steve Busby (1st) 4/27/73 at Detroit Phil Niekro 8/5/73 at Atlanta Jim Colborn 5/14/77 at Kansas City Thanks!
