The No HIt Bro's

Today was good day at the mailbox. Three cards waiting for me, and all I was very excited to get.

Bobby Shantz
1952 AL MVP

Shantz reached the peak of his career in 1952 going 24-7 for a fifth place team to win the MVP Award in a landslide. He led the AL in wins, winning percentage, and fewest walks per game, and finished third with a 2.48 ERA and 152 strikeouts, tied for third with five shutouts, second with 27 complete games, fourth with 255 innings, and fifth in fewest hits per game.

Stu Miller

It was said that Miller threw at three speeds - slow, slower, and slowest; that "he threw a pitch that stopped"; and that "if you wait five minutes, the ball gets to you fairly fast." He got by on a variety of curveballs and by changing speeds on his changeup. With his herky-jerky windup, he baffled hitters in both leagues. With the Giants in 1958, he recorded a league-best 2.47 ERA, starting and relieving. He was the NL Fireman of the Year in 1961, when he registered league highs of 17 saves and 14 relief wins. Well-remembered for being literally blown off the mound by a gust of wind at Candlestick park in the '61 All-Star Game, he won the contest, striking out Mickey Mantle, Roy Sievers, and Elston Howard in succession.

Bob Forsch
Big League Brothers

I got this card signed by Bob Forsch who through two no hitters. I am now going to send this card to Ken to get signed who also hit a no hitter. This is the card that I was talking about in the title. I will have a scan of this completed card as soon as I get it back.

I am just letting you that I will be out of town tomorrow so their will be no post tomorrow. Once I get home you will get all the updates.
