Default Henry Yee pickups

Joey, Bob and Mark,
Those are all great photo pickups!

Here are mine:

Nolan Ryan Type I two photo pitching sequence from his 1st no-hitter on May 15, 1973. I had previously picked up the other two photos from this sequence in another Yee auction in 2013.

Nolan Ryan Type I photo from his historic 383K game on September 27,1973.

He's holding up his 383 trophy ball from the game. This is not an uncommon image, but it's the 1st time I've seen a nicer quality vintage photo of this shot.
In order to eclipse Sandy Koufax's strikeout standard of 382K's in 1965, Ryan had to strike out 15, pitch 10 innings, and deal with a pulled groin muscle that he got during the game.
You think he wanted the record?

Cleveland Indians battery of Don Black and Jim Hegan celebrate in the locker room following Black's no-hitter in 1947. I really like this image. Black's career ended early due suffering to a cerebral hemorrhage not long after he pitched his no-hitter.
