Hi Scott,

Love seeing your pickups!

Since someone mentioned the Holy Grail, what's your personal Holy Grail right now -- the number one thing for your unique collection that you are still hoping to find?

I've had this rain check since I was 13 years old. September 14, 1968--the afternoon of Denny McLain's 30th victory of the season. My mother took me to a lot of Ladies/Retirees days at Tiger Stadium when I was a kid--women and kids 14 and younger got in for fifty cents. A heckuva good deal! And I knew this game was an important one. My scorecard is long gone, but the rain check has stayed with me through half a dozen moves. Great memories!

Drysdale throws a 5th straight shut-out, to tie the ML record, which he proceeded to break in his next start.

Too bad there's all that annoying writing on the back.

Was happy to finally find this one. Phils CF Richie Ashburn was well known for being able to foul off pitches at will. In this game he fouled one off hitting a woman in the face and stopping play. After they got the woman on the stretcher and play resumed, Ashburn fouled the next pitch off and hit the same woman in the knee as she was being carted off!

Hi Greg,
Thank you!
Actually there are two Post WWII no-hitter tickets that I would really love to find:

Virgil Trucks 1st no-hitter- 5/15/52 @ DET
Bobo Holloman's no-hitter- 5/6/53 @ ST. LOUIS BROWNS


Additionally, I am always on the hunt for any no-hitter ticket pre 1950.
On the Nolan Ryan front, I'm really down to needing about 46 Ryan ticket dates, none of which are major milestones.

Vander Meer, it would be Mark's Vandy double no-hitter pennant, which is way cool.

Other than that, I'm a pretty happy guy as far as the collection goes.

Happy is a good place to be right now Scott! Good luck with Virgil and Bobo -- and you're right -- that double no-hitter pennant is off the charts.
