[quote=Scott Garner;879975]I picked up a couple of cool vintage snapshots of early no-hit pitchers tonight. The second snapshot is of Thomas L. Hughes (Long Tom) of the circa 1906 NY Highlanders that threw 9 innings of perfection in the 1st game of a doubleheader in 1910 before finally giving up a single in the 10th inning. Hughes ended up allowing 6 more hits and ended up losing the game 5-0 to the Cleveland Naps. I actually own the only known ticket extant to this game in my collection. Long Tom ended up changing leagues and threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1916 while he was a member of the Boston Braves.
Scott - "Long Tom" Hughes was a member of NY AL only in 1904. "Salida Tom" Hughes (Thomas L. Hughes) pitched for them in 1906 and 1909-1910.
