Many thanks to net54 member Chris Gamble for helping find one of the Holy Grail items on my want list.
Here is my newly acquired ceremonial medal from Johnny Vander Meer Day on September 21, 1938 in Vandy's hometown of Midland Park, NJ. Vander Meer Day was given in Vandy's honor to celebrate his unparalleled feat of pitching back-to-back no-hitters on June 11th and June 15th, 1938.
This is a perfect compliment to the other two pieces that I own in my collection related to Vander Meer Day:
An original program from Vander Meer Day as well as an original photograph from the Vander Meer Day Testimonial Banquet that occurred the evening of September 21st. In attendance was Vandy's Cincinnati Reds skipper Bill McKechnie. He is sitting at a table with Vandy at the front of the room
