"Tom Terrific" was never better than the night of June 16, 1978. That's when Tom Seaver tossed his only career no-hitter, against the St. Louis Cardinals as the Reds won 4-0 at Riverfront. This baseball was used by Seaver to record one of his three strikeouts during his masterpiece. It is signed by the Hall of Fame hurler and also notated by him: "CIN REDS 6-16-78." In another hand is: "Reds 4, Cardinals-0, No Hitter, One of the strikeout balls from Tom Seaver no-hitter June 16, 1978." The Official National League (Feeney) baseball shows nice use and was obtained from the collection of the Ohio Baseball Hall of Fame.
