I recently was fortunate to scratch another early vintage no-hitter ticket off of my want list.
Here is a ticket stub from CWS pitcher Vern Kennedy's August 31, 1935 no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians.
The White Sox prevailed 5-0 with Kennedy fanning 5 with 4 BB.
Additionally, Kennedy helped his own cause in this game hitting a triple w/ 3 RBI's.
Kennedy was a great overall athlete and had a career batting average of .244 over 12 years in the major leagues. Not bad for a pitcher!
Another pre-war toughee with a very small attendance of 5,000. It's also important to note that the majority of CWS tickets from this era were undated tickets.
This is the only example that I have ever seen or heard of entering the hobby as long as I have been collecting.
Luckily it's fully dated and in terrific shape for being 87 years old....
I now have tickets to 237 different no-hitter games dating back to 1901.
