I picked up a couple of cool vintage snapshots of early no-hit pitchers tonight.
The first snapshot is of the Indians Ray "Slim" Caldwell that threw a no-hitter against the NY Yankees in 1919. The second snapshot is of Thomas L. Hughes (Long Tom) of the circa 1906 NY Highlanders that threw 9 innings of perfection in the 1st game of a doubleheader in 1910 before finally giving up a single in the 10th inning. Hughes ended up allowing 6 more hits and ended up losing the game 5-0 to the Cleveland Naps. I actually own the only known ticket extant to this game in my collection. Long Tom ended up changing leagues and threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1916 while he was a member of the Boston Braves. |
