Ewell Blackwell's personal trophy ball from his 16th consecutive win in 1947
This is Ewell Blackwell's personal game used trophy ball from his 16th consecutive win in 1947, which was 2nd only to HOF Rube Marquard's ML standard of 19 consecutive wins in 1912 .
The game ball is also vintage signed by "The Whip". 1947 was a historic season for Ewell Blackwell. After hurling a no-hitter on June 18th, 1947, Blackwell almost tied Johnny Vander Meer's ML record of pitching back-to-back no-hitters. He went 8 2/3 innings before finally giving up a hit. After 72 years nobody has ever gotten closer to Vandy's double no-hit record... Last edited by Scott Garner; 10-10-2019 at 03:11 AM. |
