Bo Belinsky’s 1963 Los Angeles Angels Game-Worn Uniform: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Pitcher’s Iconic Moment

Bo Belinsky, a name synonymous with the glamour and excitement of baseball’s golden era, etched his name into the annals of sports history on May 5, 1962. On that day, he threw the first no-hitter in the history of the Los Angeles Angels and the first ever at Dodger Stadium, defeating the Baltimore Orioles 2–0. This remarkable feat not only showcased his pitching prowess but also catapulted him into the limelight as one of sports’ most charismatic figures. His lifestyle, described as “cool and slick and dazzling,” became legendary, making him a household name beyond the baseball diamond.
