Get Your Kicks ........

[frankbmd]

without relief pitchers or pitch counts in a little over 4 hours

16 innings, 428 pitches (Juan 227, Spahn 201), pitch clocks or ghost runners

Final score 1-0 with walk-off home run by Willie Mays in the bottom of the 16th.

Spahn was 42 years old, but Juan's kick was a little higher.

Incredible. Had to look up the box score out of curiosity.

Spahn vs. Marichal

Mays and McCovey vs. Aaron and Matthews

The only extra base hit off Marichal, was a double by Spahn himself.

Game won by a Willie Mays HR. Mays also threw a runner out at Home Plate in the 4th inning, preserving the shutout at the time for Marichal.

Pretty much a perfect game of baseball.

Pretty much a perfect game of baseball.

A pitcher's duel, a walk off HR, and a crucial play at the plate, can't get better than that.

And McCovey hit a monster shot that landed in Oakland, (or so he says) early in the game. The umpire allegedly was the only one at the ballpark who actually thought it was a foul ball.

Of course there was limited video in 1963, no challenges so they couldn't find a replay umpire in New York to overturn the call.



Hitting against Marichal with his kick was described by some as facing a piece of farm equipment.
