I can’t stress enough how great that documentary is and how anyone who loves the game as we do, would thoroughly enjoy it. What a great guy. 27 years of power pitching is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) 55 years ago, Carl Yastrzemski had probably the greatest single player performance ever to lift a team to a pennant... Lifted from Wikipedia... "With the Red Sox battling as part of a four-team pennant race, Yastrzemski hit .513 (23 hits in 44 at-bats) with five home runs and 16 runs batted in over the last two weeks of the season, and finished a mere one game ahead of the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins. The Red Sox went into the final two games of the season trailing the Twins by one game and leading the Tigers by one-half game. Their final two games were against Minnesota with the pennant and home run title (hence, the triple crown) on the line. In the Saturday game, Yastrzemski went 3 for 4 with a home run and 4 RBI. Killebrew also homered, but the Red Sox won, 6–4. Thus the teams went into the final game tied for first place, and Yastrzemski and Killebrew were tied with 44 home runs apiece. In the final game, neither player homered, but Yastrzemski went 4 for 4 with 2 RBI in the Red Sox' 5–3 win. In the two games with the pennant on the line, Yastrzemski was 7 for 8 with six RBI."

IUFLA Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) "The Great One" All players wore a #21 patch yesterday, and had the option to wear a #21 jersey... I'd definitely have worn the jersey... great ballplayer (along with Willie Mays and Ken Griffey Jr as the best all around players I've ever seen), great man... Edit: watching recap Rundown, and they said you could wear a #21 jersey yesterday if you were a Clemente Award nominee, or if you were of Puerto Rican heritage...

IU Scott Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 July 2, 1963 Warren Spahn, 42, and Juan Marichal, 25, pitch, the most amazing pitching duel in the history of the game. They both pitched 16 innings that day. Spahn throwing 201 pitches and Marichal throwing 227. The game ends on a walk-off home run by Willie Mays with the score at 1-0. Absolutely incredible. To address all the modern day thinking that pitchers throw harder so they can’t go as long is preposterous. With modern day training and nutrition, today’s athletes should be able to go longer. Spahn was 42 and at the end of his career throwing against Kuenn, Mays, McCovey, Cepeda and F. Alou. The idea that he wasn’t throwing as hard as he could on each pitch which would cause just as much strain as a modern day pitcher with much better conditioning is laughable. Spahn went on to win 10 more games that year and finished the season with 23 wins and a 2.60 ERA. Which just goes to show that he didn’t throw out his arm, even at 42 years old. I’ll take the “old heads” over most of todays pitchers any day for longevity and quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was on Ken Burns Baseball but Bob Costas said the pitcher who came in to pitch to Vic Wertz on the Mays catch was taken out and maybe only in to pitch to Wertz. When he handed the ball to his replacement, he said, "Well, I got my guy out". I'm sure I botched this up some and forgot the names of the pitchers. Still that is fricking classic if true.

Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) As a Yankee fan, since they are not in the playoffs (doesn't seem right I tell ya), I console myself by watching replays of the Yankees Dynasty years with the Core 4 guys. This play by Derek Jeter puts a smile on my face. Side Note: Both my son and daughter are Yankee fans, just like their old dad. My daughter has a son and he has always worn #2 on his uniform from little league, travel ball and high school!! Man I love that kid!
