Thanks for sharing the clip Mark! You were so lucky to witness all of those players in their prime! I love those old pitching styles! We use to emulate those windups while playing backyard baseball. Great memories!

Just thought this clip would appeal to lots of us here... especially Cubs + Reds collectors and of course Chris G and Scott G.
Jim Maloney was such an underrated pitcher. In 1965, he threw two 10 inning no-hitters that went for losses, one of which happened against Mets just prior to this game. This was Maloney's first of two official no-hitters (which actually counted in the books).
I was in attendance for Maloney's second no hitter at Crosley Field. Amazingly, his second no-no was countered the very next night by the Astros' Don Wilson who returned the favor.
Hope you find this great footage to be enjoyable! |
