Oddball
Here is a scan of the original ticker tape that Phillies announcing great Harry Kalas used to call Sandy Koufax's 3rd no-hitter on 6/4/64 at Philadelphia.
This and the ticker tape announcing HOF'er Jim Bunning's perfect game on Fathers Day, June 21, 1964 were glued to pages in Kalas' personal notebook that he kept from the 1964 season. Unique and cool, a definite link to a very different time in baseball history when announcers used ticker tapes as one of their standard resources to ply their trade. I picked this notebook up on eBay a few years ago for next to nothing.
