1948 Indian News signed by no-hit hurlers Don Black, HOF Bob Lemon and HOF Bob Feller
I recently picked up a pretty cool signed item for my collection related to no-hitters.
This is an August issue of Indian News that was signed by Don Black (D-1959), HOF Bob Lemon and HOF Bob Feller. All three of these Cleveland Indians pitchers that were on the 1948 roster hurled at least one no-hitter.
Feller threw no-hitters in both 1940 and 1946, Black threw his in 1947 and Lemon had just hurled his in June of 1948 at the time that this publication was printed.
What makes this signed piece particularly rare is the death date of Don Black tragically passed away in 1959 at the young age of 43.
His signature is pretty challenging to begin with, but to find a no-hitter related piece signed by all three is pretty unique.
