Great history surrounds this 1924 St. Louis Cardinals team-signed baseball. It dates from July 17th, 1924, commemorating Jesse Haines' no-hitter in a 5-0 win over the Boston Braves. While we cannot confirm that this is a game-used ball, it was most likely signed in the clubhouse after the game. The Official National League (Heydler) ball contains 23 signatures: Haines, Bottomley, Cooney, Shotton, Sherdel, Myers, Bell, Dyer, Blades, Freigau, Stuart, Gonzalez, Mueller, Niebergall, Smith, Sugden, Holm, Schultz, Sothoron, Flack, Dickerman, Toporcer. Hornsby is clubhouse. On the sweet spot, there is handwritten, "No Hits, No Runs, July 17th, 1924." Not only was it the only no-hitter in Haines' Hall of Fame career, but it was also the only National League no-no ever thrown at fabled Sportsman's Park. From The Jesse Haines Collection and sourced from his family. Comes with PSA LOA.

Jesse Haines was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1970 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. His impact in baseball spanned far greater than his nineteen-year career and he even threw a no-hitter in 1924, a feat that would not be achieved by another Cardinals pitcher for 50 years. This collection includes Jesse’s Hall of Fame plaque, a team signed baseball by the 1924 Cardinals commemorating his no-hitter, early photographs, autographs and more. This collection of “fresh to market” material sources from Haines’ family and is now available to the public for the first time.
