Couple of nice December pickups
Happy holidays to everyone on net54!
I recently picked up two neat items- one prewar, one more recent:
The first is a ticket stub from 17 year old HOF phenom Bob Feller's 2nd career win on 9/7/36. It's hard to believe that Feller was so good at such a young age. At this point Feller was still a high school JUNIOR. Wow!
The second item is a game used ball from Astros 1986 Cy Young winner Mike Scott's no-hitter on 9/25/86. The thing that made this no-hitter so unique is that it also clinched the NL Western Division for the Astros. That's what I would call a clutch performance!
This ball came directly from the personal collection of the former Astros PA announcer David Courtney. The inscription on the side panel is in the hand of Courtney. Mike Scott signed the ball for Courtney after the game.
