1964 Phillies World Series Tickets

1) Fathers Day

2) I believe that made Bunning the 1st pitcher to toss no-hitters in each league in the 20th century. Cy Young had done that feat but his NL no-hitter was in the 19th century.

3) Rick Wise would win his 1st major league game in the 2nd game of the double header. Rick Wise's RC also includes this great typo for the other player pictured:

This 19 year-old right hander is only 18 years old.

4) Bunning also joined a very exclusive group to have pitched both a perfect game and another no-hitter. Cy Young and Addie Joss had already done that; Sandy Koufax (the next year); Mark Buehrle and Randy Johnson would join that group in the next 45 years.

Anything I missed

The only no-hitter pitched by a person who later became a US Senator

We'd add political commentary here; whilst we have a chance

It was also pitched the same day that civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, James Charney, and Michael Schwerner were murdered in Mississippi, but I don't think that is the answer Ted is looking for either.

P.S.- Ted, I will call you tomorrow morning.

The 1st no-no pitched in Shea Stadium; in the 1st year Shea was used as a stadium
