You are correct, with an asterisk after it. Varitek has actually caught 4 official no-hitters, plus the 5 inning, rain shortened, unofficial no-hitter pitched by Devern Hansack that I pictured in my thread. It's important to note that Varitek is the winner by a mile. The runners up, HOF'ers Ray Schalk and Yogi Berra, caught only 3 in their storied careers. Does that mean that Varitek is one of the greatest receivers ever? I would argue that he certainly can call a great game. It also gives you a glimpse into the depth of Boston Red Sox pitching over a decade in time and a fair amount of luck mixed in. Pretty neat stuff! When Varitek hangs up his spikes at some point, I plan on getting him to sign a ball with an inscription of how many no-hitters he ends up catching. It's certainly an unusual statistic that I'm sure that he is very proud of as a backstop. A lot of great catchers with HOF long careers have not been so lucky. Case in point, Carlton Fisk never caught one. Amazing! He was the receiver when Tom Seaver pitched his 300th win though.... Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-09-2011 at 06:29 AM.

Don, did you have the bat inscribed by Williams to Feller at the Shriner's show maybe 5 years ago? It stopped me dead in my tracks. I wish I was born earlier so I could have heard his voice in Fenway longer.

Here's my other 1915 TYPE 1 photo of the Bambino. This time, Babe is flanked by his fellow members of Boston's stellar pitching staff.

Here is a 15 WS Program that I own from Game #4 that the Red Sox won 2-1. I put the back of the program up because the Sox look snazzy in those Stag Brand sweaters. Also, the stub pictured below is from the same game as the program. I wish I owned the stub but I was outbid for it in this past weeks Mile High Auction. It would have been a great companion piece to the program as I also have a nice type 1 action photo from the game. But I thought I would post the stub with the program because they really do belong togather

------------------------------------------------------------------------- This historic composite photo celebrates Babe Ruth as he broke Buck Freeman's single season record of 25 home runs, that he set 20 years earlier in 1899. The slug tells the whole story and is dated 9/9/1919. One other comment regarding this photo, is both images of Babe & Buck are TYPE 3 photos. They were pictures of a picture, developed, pasted side by side, and photographed one more time to create the end result. Extremely rare for the era. I would say that regardless of what TYPE this photo is, the historic content trumps all, and the value wouldn't really be affected. I've re-posted my 1915 Sox Pitchers TYPE 1 photo that was used for the Bambino's image, so you can compare the images of a TYPE 1 & TYPE 3 side by side. 1919babeHRking.jpgBabeREDSOXpitchingSTAFF.jpg 1919babeHRkingSLUG.jpg

Hey gang, Thanks for all the great images. Did you know there is also a Boston Nationals thread in here as well *crickets*?
These are from Dr Leander Powers collection. From his bio, he was some kinda guy! After graduating from medical school and serving his residencies, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and participated in the Invasion of Sicily with the 45th Infantry Division as a captain in the medical corps. He received several medals, including the Bronze Star and was mentioned by name in war correspondent Ernie Pyle's book, "Brave Men." As Pyle wrote, "These men lived a rough-and-tumble life. They slept on the ground, worked ghastly hours, were sometimes under fire, and handled a flow of wounded that would sicken and dishearten a person less immune to it. 1942 orig negs, Chicago Bears v the U.S. Army All-Stars for the war effort;

Hey Steve, the mounts for the goalposts are still located under the third base line and could be used again if Fenway were to host a game. Not sure is the right field ones are still there.

July 1916 Babe Ruth Red Sox Photo in The Boys' Magazine
Just picked this beauty up. Never even knew it existed but it is one of the earliest photos of Ruth in a magazine. Pretty neat.

Not a Red Sox collector, but recently picked up this photo of their manager, Bill Carrigan, taken in June of 1928 - not the greatest time to be a Boston fan.
From the time Babe Ruth left, the Red Sox didn't finish .500 again until 1935, so Carrigan had very little to do with it - they were actually worse both before he began managing them, AND got even worse after he left. He was a player-manager for them during three of their best years, just prior to the fall: 1914-1916 and Babe Ruth called him the best manager he ever played for.

GREAT program, Michael!!
The same place you got the 1903 program will have a 1904 one next time around - since you already have one, you'll let me go after the '04 one, right??

Part Red Sox, part JFK. Original Bob Coyne artwork that appeared in the Boston Herald some time in April 1964. It belonged to the late Red Sox GM, Dick O'Connell.

I think these are just for this game. We have standard tickets for other 2012 games. I'd prefer an empty ballpark for this date though. Don't need a bunch of polyester premadonna's trashing my turf at this special time. We're going in very early in hopes of catching the tour, as we always do (and recommend). Though, I have a sinking suspicion they may be cancelled.

I'll be at the Sunday game vs the Yankees. But thinking of picking up tickets to Fridays, what better way to see your first game at Fenway then it being the 100th ann. Go Yankees,

Killer Hatband Scott! I had my eye on that. You did well. I picked up a few unique new Sox Pennants. I will try and post them when in hand. In the meantime I picked up a nice 46 All Star program and a 61 All Star stub awhile back.

OK, not a big dollar item or anything, but I thought it might be neat to have my ticket from the 100th anniversary signed by the oldest player in attendance.
So I took my ticket and mailed it last Friday from Boston to Bobby Doerr's residence in Oregon. Eight days (and two cross-country trips later), the ticket arrived back to me today, with a gorgeous signature from the 94 year old. Most impressive, Mr. Doerr....

Nice piece, Scott!
Doerr's signature is still fluid and gorgeous. And I'm very glad it is. Graig
