The durability of MLB pitchers in the modern era is often debated and always compared to those that came before. If a current MLB pitcher throws five complete games in a season it is a noteworthy accomplishment that would have been laughed upon in years past. Johnny Vander Meer had made his Major League debut in 1937 at the age of 22. He was quickly sent back to the Minor Leagues before a September recall. In 1938, Vander Meer came into his own beginning with a game played on June 11, 1938 between the Reds and visiting Boston Braves at Crosley Field. Vander Meer twirled a no hit gem facing one batter above the minimum and issuing only two walks (both of whom were eliminated via pick off and Double Play). The adulation towards the rookie pitcher had barely subsided when amazingly he took the mound on June 15, 1938 when lightning struck yet again. The game was notable in that the Reds were visiting the Brooklyn Dodgers for the first night game to be held in a stadium other than Crosley Field. The various scribes from New York ultimately would need to switch the focus of their stories from first night game in Ebbetts Field history to Johnny Vander Meer pitches second consecutive no hit game for first time in MLB history. Vander Meer cruised through much of the game until the ninth inning where the understandable pressure seemingly took its toll. After recording one out he walked three successive batsman to load the bases. One ground ball and a fly ball later the feat had been completed. Johnny Vander Meer had thrown two consecutive no hit games during his rookie season. As recounted by several accompanying documents from Vander Meer's sister Vander Meer retained the final out baseballs from each of these hallowed milestone games. The first baseball from June 11th no hitter displays (22) signatures of the Reds players on a moderately toned/soiled F.Frick National League baseball. Players include Vander Meer, Gowdy, Hershberger (rare due to having committed suicide in 1940), Lombardi, Rush, Derringer, and McKechnie. Signatures range from 4-8 out of 10. Sweet spot of the ball displays period fountain pen inscription likely in Vander Meer's hand, "Cinn. 3-6-0 , Boston 0-0-0 June 11-38". The "11" in the date has some vestiges of period blue ink that appears to have been added due to fading of black number mentioned for accuracy only. The second ball from June 15th no hitter features (22) signatures from the Reds on moderately toned/soiled F.Frick National League baseball. Players include Lombardi, Hershberger (rare due to having committed suicide in 1939), Gowdy, Berger, McKechnie, Roush, and Walters. Side panel displays period black fountain pen inscription similar to June 11th ball and likely in Vander Meer's hand, "June 15-1938 Cinn 6-11-0, Brooklyn 0-0-2, Vandermeer-Lombardi". Portions of the fate exhibit some period enhancement with blue fountain pen due to fading of the original ink. Each of these historic baseballs were retained within the family until their public display with other items at the Midland Park (NJ) Public Library. In 2011, a Vander Meer family member removed the offered baseballs from the display with witness by the attorney of a family acquaintance. There are some records within the game of baseball that will almost assuredly never be equaled. Johnny Vander Meer's consecutive no hit games is certainly a task that will likely not be seen again especially given the manner in which pitching in the game today is handled. Monumental offering with impeccable primary source family provenance. Includes two individual full LOAs from PSA/DNA (autographs), two individual notarized letters of provenance from Vander Meer's sister (one for each ball), and two individual notarized letters from attorney corroborating the removal of the baseballs from the Midland public display: Baseballs: Range VG/EX-EX, Signatures: Range GD-NM
