Here is yet another snapshot of Jim Tobin taken while playing for the Boston Braves. Tobin threw one official no-hitter as well as an unofficial no hitter (called after 5 innings) in 1944.

An interesting side note is that in his 9 inning no-hitter on April 27th, 1944 he also hit two HR's. Tobin hit 17 HR's in his short career. The guy could swing it!

Just curious if anyone recognizes the ballpark in the background? PLMK-thanks!

Thanks Steve! Can you also nail down the vintage of the snapshot from Tobin's uni?

I appreciate the help.

Alan, I have seen some pennants similar to the one you posted. They were in an old Slater's Americana catalog.The pennants were described as about 10 inches long, cloth covered with a hard cardboard backing. But the letters above the pennant were for the word CARSTAIRS, I believe a liquor company or distribtor. See scan

Great shot Steve! I really like the early spring training and exhibition images. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it?
