Scott G,
Congrats on that awesome medal. Fits perfectly with your other Vandy Day stuff.

I think I see Comiskey kneeling right behind Jackson.

Another cool recent pick-up.

In this photo, Joe Jackson was on leave and happened to stay in the same hotel as the Giants and White Sox, who were playing an exhibition game. I was lucky in that the photographer managed to catch Jackson, as well as Amos Rusie and Charlie Comiskey, in this wonderful shot. Rusie is holding a dog, Comiskey a baseball and Jackson a glove. They are the only dog, baseball and glove in the photo - can you find them?

Picked up a 1962 Detroit Tigers Tour of Japan uniform patch.

Got these as part of a lot... 1953 batting order cards of the tigers and St Louis Browns. I'm not sure whose copies these were, but I believe there were 3 or 4 copies for each game... In doing some research I found that Don Larsen pitched against the tigers 3 times in his rookie campaign in Detroit, but only once did he duel against Billy Hoeft: April 18, 1953! Which also happened to be Don Larsen's major league debut!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on net54!
Please enjoy your time spent with family. I've always thought that Thanksgiving is the best holiday because this is what it's all about, FWIW.

I recently picked up two nice additions to my no-hit ticket collection.

One is a ticket stub to HOF Sandy Koufax's masterpiece perfect game on 9/9/65 vs. the Chicago Cubs. Tough luck losing pitcher Bob Hendley only allowed 1 hit making this arguably one of the greatest pitched games ever in ML history.

The second ticket stub has been unbelievably tough to locate- KC Royals' Jim Colborn's no-hitter vs. the Texas Rangers on May 14th, 1977. Plenty of fans attended this game- 29,978, but this is the FIRST example of this ticket that I have ever even heard of existing in the 34 years following the game. Anyway, I'm very happy to own it.

I now have tickets to 193 different no-hitter games dating back to 1901.
BTW, I only need tickets to 15 no-hitter games from 1940 to present, which I still believe is an attainable goal.

PLMK if you have any tickets to pre-1980 no-hitter games that you are willing to sell or trade.
