Will, welcome aboard! The reds are one of my favorite teams from my youth. Still remember fondly a great teacher that brought in the audio visual T.V. and let us watch the 1970 World Series.
Here's a photo from my Hall of Fame book...GO REDS!!

Hi Will,

A big OH welcome to you and your son. BTW, it looks to be another exciting year to be a Reds fan.

Here are a couple of fun Reds related no-hitter items to look at from my personal collection:

1) Two extremely scarce ticket color variations to Johnny "Double No-Hit" Vander Meer's 2nd consecutive no-hitter on June 15th, 1938 at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. The ticket is shaped like a light bulb and exhibits a number "1" indicating that it was also the very 1st night game played under the lights in Brooklyn. The red version of this ticket was to the very limited lower box seats (very spendy for the 1930's) and are virtually never seen.

2) A Type I photo of Vander Meer demonstrating his trademark high kick southpaw delivery that paralized National League hitters hitless for over 21 consecutive innings in June of 1938. He finally surrendered his 1st hit in the 4th inning to the Boston Bees' Dem Garms in the 4th inning on June 19, 1938. This photo was taken on the day that Vandy threw the 1st of his two consecutive no-hitters (June 11th, 1938).

Box seats for $2.20...thems were da days!
