In June of 1938, southpaw Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds
became the only pitcher in Major League history to hurl two
consecutive no-hitters--an achievement that has stood unsurpassed
for more than 80 years. Vander Meer was just 23 at the time and a
glorious future was predicted. Despite injuries, he became a
four-time All-Star yet ended up a .500 pitcher--not a surefire Hall
of Famer as many expected. Both the Reds and Vander Meer
persevered, but decades later the left-hander is best remembered
for his stunning no-hit package. This volume follows Vander Meer
and the Reds through the triumphs of two National League pennants
and one World Series title, the hardship of World War II, and the
trying suicide of a teammate.
