Default Monte Pearson no-hitter scorebook and clippings- 1st no-hitter at Yankee Stadium!

Many thanks to Brock for allowing me to add this beautiful scorebook to Monte Pearson's historic 1st no-hitter ever pitched at Yankee Stadium. Pearson no-hit the visiting Indians 13-0 in the 2nd game of a doubleheader on only 2 days rest. The scorebook came with several NY vintage newspaper clippings from the following day recapping the doubleheader sweep of the Tribe.

Ironically, this scorebook and clippings originally came with a ticket from this game as well and was offered in the SCD in the mid 1990's, but another collector beat me to the punch. I was able to subsequently work out a trade with the collector and have owned the ticket to this game since the 1990's. By picking up the scorebook and clippings, I have kept the original lucky patron's memories of the game intact, after an amazing 20 year separation. Pretty cool!
