I am sure we will see his uniform, or his glove, or one of his ball thrown from that game sold soon somewhere.

But it is still amazing

Your note confuses me, why would the sale of anything from the game change the nature of how we think about his performance?

I took it as he was saying this was posted in the wrong section.

Oh, maybe, I guess.

I think what we should all recognize is our Net54 member BumpusJones was recognized for his own no-hitter in 1892! Good going Chris!

Congrats to Tyler Gilbert for his great performance, especially after spending 6 years in the minors. Unbelievable!!

It should be noted that Bumpus Jones was the ONLY pitcher to hurl a no-hitter in his ML DEBUT game. Breitenstein, Bobo Holloman and Tyler Gilbert tossed one in their first ML START.

One additional distinction is that although Bumpus Jones pitched his game when overhand pitching was finally allowed, but his mound distance was not from the current ML standard of 60' 6"...

Here's a toast to all of the aforementioned pitchers that were fortunate enough to accomplish this unique feat.
Hopefully Tyler Gilbert's career will fare better than Bobo Holloman.
No-hitter in early May of 1953, sent to the minors in July, 1953 never to return. Cross your fingers!

Hey Scott just curious what piece (item,Mem, etc) Do you think you will try and get for your collection to honor his accomplishment......

Hey Al,
Nice to hear from you.
Ideally, I would love to find a full ticket from Gilbert's no-hitter and get him to sign it for my no-hit ticket collection.
The fact that MLB teams are eliminating hard tickets is making this a challenge though...

I stopped going to Dodger games in person long ago because they pissed me off, and the traffic between my house and Anaheim to see the Angels is too much to bear, SO I don't really care about the answer to my hypothetical question, BUT, what would happen if I left my phone and credit card at home and decided to just walk up to the box office to buy a ticket to a game, assuming that they take cash, would they sell me a ticket?
