The Cy Young piece is fantastic, that would look great anywhere .....especially on one of my walls.
Dave your stuff as always is presented beautifully. Wish I had somebody here to do the job your framer does.

Thanks Kevin. It might look good on your walls, but we'll never know for sure.

Dave,
As usual, your framer does a very nice job.

These aren't new pickups, but I decided to reframe them to match the Cy Young I did earlier this month.

[tazdmb]

Love the framing jobs!

[Lordstan]

Thanks Taz. I did them myself.

[Cooptown]

Very nice Mark!

Got Ray Knight to sign today at Nats park before Jordan Zimmermann pitched the Nationals' first no hitter. Have met Ray a couple of times and he's very approachable. I didn't ask for the inscription, which was a nice surprise.

[gregr2]

Nice ^^^ congrats.

Jason,
Nice pickup! The catch to end the no-hitter game was one of the best that I've ever seen given the circumstances. WOW-what a game!

Did you know that the losing pitcher Henderson Alvarez threw a no-hitter in the last game of the year in 2013 for Miami? Pretty unbelievable actually...

Scott - Yes! I did know about Alvarez's No-No last year. That was a 1-0 game too if I recall. It was a great day all around.

Great game to be at!

I was wondering - when they bring out the game-used balls late in the game, do you know if they were bringing out Zimmerman-pitched baseballs? Just curious - I would think that if a no-hitter was in progress, they would hold their balls (pun intended); otherwise, what an opportunity for the fans to pick up no-hitter balls.

Here's an FDR from my collection, James--note what he says about autographs!

Scott - I checked the Authentics stand on my way out and couldn't tell. Looked like they had a few from the game labeled for sale, but were asking $100+ per ball, so I didn't see anyone buying them. I was with my pregnant wife who graciously let us stay to see the entire game, but was wanting to get home afterwards so I couldn't linger.

It was one of the best games I've been to, that's for sure. And Denard Span getting his 184th hit, which is a new club single season record, was nice to see, but overshadowed by the no hitter.

[Runscott]

$100 or so for a no-hitter I attended?...sign me up.

Thanks for the info - hopefully other teams operate the same way.

Picked up these cards for my 1957 set.











I now have 320 out of the 407 cards signed (79%), including 54 different HOFers and 187 deceased signatures.

My wife and son got to go on the field for an Angels/Twins batting practice. My son was able to get a couple of Mike Trout autographs along with quite a few pictures. He also had a picture of him and Josh Hamilton from a prior meeting signed. Here is one of the Trout items he had signed.

[tazdmb]

Great autograph, but he has lousy signature.

Zimmerman pitched baseballs are on MLB auctions and going for a lot. I know some teams and I'm guessing most do it, if there's a no hitter or a perfect game through say like 5 innings. They will stop selling the items and hold onto them. I find it hard to believe the nats would be selling no hit baseballs for $100 no matter who pitched it or what.
