188 pitches for Jim Maloney in this no-hitter- yikes! 
He also walked 10 in this game, which was the most ever given up in a no-hitter.
It looked like Maloney's fastball had a lot of movement late in the game, probably contributing to the high walk count....

Scott-
Pretty darned cool that you happen to have a Ticket from that very game (and signed, no less...) Very impressed!
A different era for sure... Sure, they used relief pitchers, but this was well before the advent of the "set-up man" and the "closer". I bet you could count on the fingers of one hand, the number of managers who would let Maloney even finish that game today... Probably none!
