Bobo Holloman's last harrah
For those that don't know, St. Louis Browns RHP Bobo Holloman would likely be the poster boy for the most unlikely pitcher to ever hurl a no-hitter.
In 1953 he pitched briefly, mostly in a mop-up relief role for the Brownies. Prior to the 1953 ML season, Holloman injured his arm while pitching in the Puerto Rican league. In Puerto Rico Holloman had pitched very effectively and had been a standout on the Santurce squad. Not wanting to mess up his opportunity to pitch in the majors, Holloman downplayed the extent of his arm injury. Holloman made his ML debut on April 18th, 1953 pitching in relief of starting pitcher Don Larsen, of WS perfect game fame, who also debuted in the same game. Holloman, a flake but always self-assured, continually pleaded with Browns manager Marty Marion for the opportunity to start a game "to show him what he was capable of". On May 6th, 1953 Holloman finally succeeded in his quest. In his first starting assignment in the majors, Bobo Holloman pitched a no-hitter. He became the first and only player since Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bumpus Jones accomplished the same feat in 1892. By July of 1953 Bobo Holloman was traded to Toronto and never played another game in the major leagues. On June 21, 1953 Bobo won his 3rd and final career game against the Boston Red Sox in game 2 of a doubleheader. HOF'er Satchel Paige pitched in relief of Holloman and got his 7th save of the season. This is a ticket from this game. Last edited by Scott Garner; 01-28-2018 at 04:19 AM.

I have been looking for this stub for many years.
I acquired it after messaging the same person for over 3 years and always getting a not interested or not right now. He was finally willing to part with it after my persistence. I would email him every 6 months or so to see if he was willing to part. It is a ticket from the 1948 AL Playoff Game Which pitted my Indians vs the Boston Red Sox. This is a very hard ticket to obtain and i have never seen another one but i figured one had to exist...and now i own it. Couldnt be more excited! Andy

Sweet tickets everyone!
It's a plain as they come, but I don't think I'll ever part with this Jimmy Claxton, Smiley Clayton, and Foy Scott ticket. Scott Motors of Reno v. Round Mountain on Emancipation Day 1935...

Picked this up in an auction back in the Spring. Off at PSA getting slabbed now. To my knowledge, it is the oldest known acknowledged 'Championship Game' ticket on record for College Football
