Default Charles "Deacon" Phillipe and George Gibson 1909 snapshot

I'm really thrilled to have added this circa 1909 snapshot of Pirates pitcher Charles "Deacon" Phillipe and catcher George Gibson to my collection.
Many thanks to net54's Gary Scamehorn for offering this to me.

Deacon Phillipe hurled a no-hitter in 1899, his 1st season in the ML while he was with Louisville.

Deacon Phillipe has always been a no-hit pitcher that I've had a strong interest in.
His story is actually very interesting.
Although he did not pitch for very many seasons (1899-1911) he was highly thought of as a top quality pitcher with incredible control.
Voted by the Pittsburgh fans as the greatest right-handed pitcher in Pirates history, Deacon Phillippe may have been the greatest control pitcher ever--his 1.25 walks per nine innings is the lower ratio of anyone who hurled after the modern pitching distance was established in 1893.
His teammate, HOF Honus Wagner, made a statement once that really cinched my interest in his career:
Deacon Phillipe always wanted to hurl against THE BEST pitcher on the opposing team’s roster. The Pirates would routinely shuffle their pitching rotation so that this could happen. Knowing this, look at Phillipe’s remarkable win/loss ratio (189 wins/ 109 losses) in the context of the competition that he always faced.
Deacon Phillipe also pitched in the very first World Series game in 1903 against Cy Young. Phillipe was the starting pitcher in 5 of the 8 games in the 1903 World Series and was the winning pitcher in all of the 3 games that the Pirates won in this WS. Phillipe was the ONLY starting pitcher to pitch in 5 games in any WS in the history of the MLB.

Interesting info, Scott! Is that an autograph or just a notation on the reverse?

Sweet jersey. Finding an all original black Pirates jersey is tough. Congrats on the World Series year too.

Default 19th Century Baseball Bat

Picked up what I believe is a 19th Century baseball bat in great condition. It is 35" long and weighs 36oz. It has a flat knob and flat top. No manufacturer markings are visible.

1955 Detroit Tigers lineup card featuring Al Kaline and signed by HOF manager Bucky Harris. I also have a Harris from 1934 but couldn't resist adding this one as well.

Default Vander Meer and Gumbert hurl the longest 0-0 tie in ML history- 19 innings!

June is starting out to be a great month for pickups, as I was able to scratch a great ticket off my want list.

On Sept. 11th, 1946 starting pitcher Johnny Vander Meer, of Double No-Hit fame, ended up pitching in one of the great epic pitching battles of all-time against Dodgers starter Hal Gregg & Co.
Vandy pitched the first 15 innings of what ended up being a 0-0 tie against the Bums at Ebbets Field, ending after 19 innings due to darkness. Vandy's Reds reliever teammate & close friend Harry Gumbert pitched the final 4 innings. For the record, the Bums used a total of 4 pitchers in this pitching marathon.

After 71 years, this still stands as being a ML record for the longest game resulting in a 0-0 tie.

This would prove to be one of Vandy's greatest games as he set career highs in innings pitched (15 innings), strikeouts (14) and a miniscule 2 walks.
For Vander Meer, this was quite an accomplishment in of itself as he struggled throughout his career to not walk batters. In his own words he called this "the old bugaboo".

I was able to pair an exceedingly rare full ticket to this game and paired it with a press photo taken of Reds hurlers Vandy and Gumbert immediately after the game.

Outstanding pickup Scott! When you found it was it sold knowing what it was, or was it just another ticket that you happened to know what it was?

Hi Mike,
I hope you are well.

This particular Vandy ticket date has been on my want list for several years.
The seller did know the significance of the date and stated as much in the auction title and description.

I had always hoped to find a stub, never suspecting that I would be fortunate enough to find a NM full ticket to this game. I definitely paid somewhat of a premium for it, but for my Vander Meer collection it's a terrific fit, needless to say.

Great ticket, Scott! Did they not resume the game because it was late in the season and both teams were "out of it"?

Rob,
Thank you.
Interesting question. As stated in my previous post, it was a day game and was called due to darkness.
It's amazing that the 19 inning game only lasted about 4 1/2 hours, which by today's standard was crazy fast.
9 inning games today can easily take 4+ hours. Times have certainly changed...

Since lights were available at Brooklyn since 1938 and the game was played in 1946, I actually puzzled over why they just didn't turn on the lights to let the game play out. I came to the conclusion that at this point in time, night games perhaps were still being billed as special events. In 1946 it appears that only 29/78 games in the home schedule being played under the lights. The other thing to possibly consider is that likely turning on the lights required special set up and preparation since they were not an everyday occurrence.
Perhaps the logistics prevented it? I'm not really sure...

This would prove to be one of Vandy's greatest games as he set career highs in innings pitched (15 innings), strikeouts (14) and a miniscule 2 walks.
For Vander Meer, this was quite an accomplishment in of itself as he struggled throughout his career to not walk batters. In his own words he called this "the old bugaboo".

I was able to pair an exceedingly rare full ticket to this game and paired it with a press photo taken of Reds hurlers Vandy and Gumbert immediately after the game.


Whoa that is an amazing ticket. Great find Scott

Thanks! My lineup card collection is mostly focused on HOF managers, but I've been able to pick up a few World Series cards, and a few interesting games (Niekro 300th win, Brett 3000 hit, rookie seasons of guys like Gwynn and Ozzie Smith and milestone homerun games from Griffey and Chipper Jones.

Default Young Nolan Ryan

Picked up this unique shot. I missed out on it twice and decided to snatch it up this time around as young Nolan is tough.

Picked up my 3rd Forrest "Woody" Jensen game used bat (Bottom bat). I'd say I have the market pretty well cornered on these. Pretty special player for my collection for several reasons. One, I actually knew him and his family. He also kind of had everything I look for from a Kansas player other than being born here. He played minor league ball in Wichita in the late 20's-1930. He then made it to the majors for pretty much all of the decade of the 30's. From there he came back to Wichita and played semi pro for the Boeing Bombers winning a National Championship. Finally he was in the front office of the Wichita Indians in the 50's.

Default Chief Bender Game Used 1917 Pennant Winning Baseball

[URL=http://s792.photobucket.com/user/collectiblesgain

This ball represents the last run given up and the last home run given up during the actual part of Bender's major league career. He did pitch one bullshit inning 8 years later as a coach but that shouldn't really count.

It is definitely the ball that caused the last loss.of his career. It is also the last run he gave up as a pitcher for a Philadelphia team.

The two run homerun by controversial Benny Kauff turned a 1-0 deficit in the 8th into a 2-1 victory. The victory clinched the 1917 pennant for the Giants, and this is the ball that propelled them to victory.
