Autograph Of The Week: Don Cardwell

On May 15, 1960, the Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4-to-0 at Wrigley Field. The Cubs pitcher, Don Cardwell, held the red-birds hitless for nine innings to become the sixth Cubs' pitcher to throw a no-hit game and their second in the 20th century.

However, what makes this no-hitter remarkable is that Cardwell had just been traded by the Philadelphia Phillies making him the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in his first start after being traded.
