I'm really excited to have added this signed & inscribed game ball from future HOF'er Justin Verlander's 2nd of 3 career no-hitters.

FYI, I now have game balls from all of the top no-hit pitchers in the modern era.
Also in my collection are game balls from 6 of Ryan's 7 no-hitters, a game ball from Sandy Koufax's 1st no-hitter, a ball from Bob Feller's 3rd (and best) no-hitter.

NOTE: Three career no-hitters puts Verlander in rarified air.
In MLB history, only HOF Larry Corcoran (1800's pitcher), HOF Cy Young, HOF Bob Feller and Verlander have hurled 3 no-hitters.

Only two players have thrown more:
HOF Sandy Koufax had 4 including a perfect game in 1965 and HOF Nolan Ryan had his unparalleled MLB standard of 7 career no-hitters.
