Default Lew Burdette R.I.P.
Posted By: DMcD

Sports Illustrated had an article soon after the game entitled "The 115 Pitches of Harvey Haddix." There was a picture of Haddix and he looked like the saddest man I'd ever seen.
Burdette was pitching the day my Mom showed up at my third grade class with tickets for game 2 of the '57 series. One minute I'm doing schoolwork, the next I'm in the left field grandstand at Yankee Stadium. One of the best days in my life. Burdette had a great WS.
