Matty's 1st no-hitter
Here is the only known season pass/ticket to NY Giants' Christy Mathewson's 1st no-hitter on July 15, 1901. Matty no-hits the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0. Only 5,000 patrons attended the game, witnessing what marked only the beginning of Mathewson's great HOF career.
The pass is issued to Bryan Snyder, which arranged train transportation for the Cardinals baseball team.
The pass is signed by Frank deHass Robison that was the team owner of the Cardinals and the Cleveland Spiders. League Field in St. Louis was also named Robison Field in his honor.
