Spectacular way to lead off a new month.

Wow really nice Cobb addition to your collection Sir, enjoy that for a long time. New pick up for me from one of my niche Babe interests. Nice photo of the Babe jumping in to "play" the tuba with his St Mary`s Industrial School Band. Ruth took the band on tour with him to many games at the end of the 1920 season. St Mary`s, Babe`s home for most of his youth, had a terrible fire and thus needed to fund raise in hopes of recovering. Babe never forgot his boys or where he came from.

Recent purchase. I like advertising with a baseball tie-in. Such memorabilia is getting tougher to find.

I finally was able to complete two framed pieces that I have been working on for a while that I thought I would share.

The first is dedicated to Virgil "Fire" Trucks that hurled two no-hitters in 1952.
The Type I photo of Trucks in his windup is at Briggs Stadium in 1949. The action sequence is from his 1st of two no-hitters (5/15/52 @ Briggs).
The two tickets in the display are to Trucks' ML debut and 1st career win.

Virgil Trucks was also dominant in the 1944 Army Navy 7-game World Championship in HI.
Along with Navy pitching teammate Johnny Vander Meer, Trucks won 4 straight games to take the series in a runaway.

The second framed piece features Ewell Blackwell, aka "The Whip".
I shared the Blackie pinback on the pin thread as a recent pickup.
Here is the completed framed piece that features a Type I photo of Blackwell, Vandy and Frank Noodles Hahn in the dugout following Blackie's no-hitter in 1947. Noodles Hahn, also a Cincinnati Red, hurled the 1st no-hitter of the 20th century in 1901. He actually pitched Reds BP into his 70's.

The ticket is to Blackwell's next pitching appearance after the no-hitter where he almost pitched a second consecutive no-hitter, going 8 1/3 innings before losing the no-no. This is the closest that any pitcher ever came to duplicating Vandy's back-to-back no-hit ML record...

This is a stunning piece! I love what you do with the collection, turning the history into beautiful displays that combine aesthetics with historical items.

I just acquired a military program that Trucks is in and signed as part of my WWII collection.

One note on the 1944 Army-Navy World Series, it ran more than 7 games. I believe 10 or 11 in total.
