Spectacular pickups, Bob. Those are beautiful!

I've wanted to add this Noodles Hahn 1906 Stenzel's pin to my no-hit pitcher collection, but they never seem to enter the hobby.

I won this pin in the Hake's Auction, but it was a battle to say the least.

Noodles Hahn is an important pitcher for my collection, because he hurled the 1st no-hitter in the 1900's.
He was also a pretty cool cat because he pitched batting practice everyday for the Cincinnati Reds until well into his 70's.

Here is a picture of the pinback that I just won and a photo from 1947 of Noodles, Vandy and Ewell Blackwell (all Reds no-hit pitchers) celebrating after Blackie's no hitter on 6/18/47.

Congrats Scott! I like those items but really like the photo linking the Reds no-nos. Good stuff.

That Noodles Hahn pin is epic. I can imagine it was quite a battle.

Awesome pickups guys.

Scott do you frame the Noodles pin and photo together, or does Noodles go in the display with your other pins?!

Noodles will get framed with the others. I will wait until I have about 4 new ones including Hahn and then will add them...
