As you know, this is the week baseball fans recognize Johnny Vander Meer's Back to back No Hitters (June 11 & 15, 1938).
If you'd like to learn more about the man and the record -- and about a new book about him that's a terrific read for baseball fans of all ages, please visit

Vandy's boyhood best friend charged me with keeping the memory of his friend and record alive, which I vowed to do, so please help me and tell others about him as well. Thank you.
