Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph article date stamped February 28, 1964 partially reads, "It was only three days since his father, George Shaeffer, an L.A. Angel scout, died of a heart attack when young Shaeffer took the mound against the North Hollywood Huskies at Cleveland. The rangy 16-year-old junior allowed only four base runners as he struck out 11 men while walking four." Photograph caption reads, "Courageous Cavalier - Mark Shaeffer gets ready to fire one at North Hollywood High hitters on way to the no-hitter he pitched Thursday. The 11th grade Cleveland High Cavalier hurler pitched the game although his father passed away on Monday."
