Black Sox pickups

[mr2686]

Of course everyone knew where Joe Benz was...they were all dying to get in to his place of work! (rim shot)...thank you, I'll be here all week...try the fish!
Scott, no I didn't know that he threw a no hitter. I just looked it up and saw that it was actually the first White Sox no hitter that allowed a run (not sure how many in mlb where that has happend). Also realized that the 1919 team had 3 pitchers to either have thrown or that would throw a no hitter (Benz, Cicotte and Robertson and all three were caught by Ray Schalk)...pretty cool! Also, I did not actually see the scrapbook, just know that it was pasted into one, but your date range guess sounds about right based on strength of signature.

Hi Mike,

I believe that there have been 21 nine inning no-hitters pitched since 1893 (when the pitching mound moved to the 60' 6" modern standard) where at least one run was allowed.

Additionally, there have been 3 eight inning unofficial no-hitters thrown that allowed have allowed at least one run.

I hope that helps!

Interesting. I just received the same photo, with a similarly-stamped back. I believe mine is also 7X9 (don't have it with me at the moment):

Resurrecting this thread with a nice Complete Karl Wingler questionairre of Eddie Murphy from the 1919 team. Not sure how many more Sox autos I'll be picking up, but I do know there will be an Eddie Collins and Kenesaw Landis in my future

I'll keep it going with one from earlier this year but never added here - the 1916 squad, posing with a postal workers' convention on the field at Comiskey.

I'm waiting for someone to post that 1919 Senators program, featuring the Black Sox and Walter Johnson pitching - from last week's Legendary auction.

Mike,

Did you notice that Eddie Murphynoted that he had two different colored eyes? I noticed it since I have one blue and one green and my dad has one blue and one brown (like David Bowie).

Cheers,

Michael B
