I was lucky enough to be at Wrigley Field and be a fan for two no-hitters. One, I saw didn’t see, and the other, I saw and celebrated.
I was at the park on a warm day — May 15, 1960, and saw Don Cardwell of the Chicago Cubs throw 6 or 7 no-hit innings. It was the second game of a twin-bill, and I was a young boy, only nine years old, and I had my fill of baseball for the day. It was warm for May and I had enough hot dogs, and I asked my pal, a friend of my Dad’s, to take me home.
