Show us your no-hitter tickets
I've been wanting to throw this out as a thread for awhile. I scanned a few of my favorites in my collection:
1) Two ticket stubs from Vandy's 2nd consecutive no-no in 1938 (June 15, 1938), which was also the 1st night game at Ebbets Field- you gotta love the lightbulb die-cut design! The ticket on the left is a complimentary ticket from the Lower Stand seats. The ultra rare red Box Seat version shown on the right is a real toughee to find. It should be noted that the great majority of tickets sold to this game were undated and did not feature the lightbulb shape like the high end seats featured.
2) A perfect stub to Harvey Haddix's near perfect game that was broken up in the 13th inning. This stub was literally saved from incineration at the last second by a collector friend at an estate sale in Milwaukee some 12 years ago.
3) A super rarre ticket stub to Bob Feller's Opening Day no-hitter in 1940. Check out the ticket number on the stub (000001)- the 1st walk-up patron to buy a grandstand ticket to the game-neat!!
Jimmy- I've added companion pieces where possible. Enjoy!
