[BASEBALL]. Original UPI Press Photograph/Proof of Chicago White Sox Pitcher Joe Horlen After Pitching a No-Hitter, PSA Type I Authentic. Detroit - WSOX - Chicago: UPI, September 10, 1967. Black and white press photo with typed caption affixed to top edge (7 x 9?), depicting a happy Joe Horlen being congratulated by teammates and a uniformed man after pitching a no-hitter (the White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 6 - 0). On the verso are pencil notes ?full hit [?] 510 PM 9/10/67? as well as the UPI inkstamp. Minor creasing to upper left corner, some faint soiling on verso, editor?s ink markings on typed caption.

This rare photo depicts his victory after his only no-hitter. One-of-a-kind, as per PSA. Encapsulated by PSA, Type I Authentic. From the Mark Rucker Collection.
