My big win from "the never ending auction"
I only purchased one item, but it matches my no-hitter collection nicely.
My pickup was a 1914 photo of the Cubs' Jim "Hippo" Vaughn from The Sporting News Photo Archive. Hippo Vaughn was the unfortunate losing pitcher in one of the most interesting no-hit games ever played. On May 2, 1917 Vaughn locked horns with the Cincinnati Reds' Big Fred Toney. Both Vaughn and Toney threw 9 innings of no-hit ball, which is the only time that this ever occured in history. In a pitching matchup for the ages, Vaughn finally surrendered a single with one out in the 10th and then allowed a second hit that surrendered the games only run. Toney completed a 10 inning no-hitter for the win. I've previously posted pictures of a signed photo of Fred Toney and the only known full ticket to this game in existence that I own in my no-hit collection. This photo of Vaughn makes a nice complimenatary piece.
