OT: The greatest game ever pitched

[Brian Van Horn]

Although I wasn't there, Harvey Haddix's perfect game lost in the 13th.

Drugs aside, of the pitchers I've seen as an adult and I am biased towards those I saw a lot, Clemens, then Johnson, then Pedro, then Maddux. If five year stretches were enough, Gooden would be in the mix.

Topping them all--Marichal's CG 16-inning shutout vs Spahn who gave up winning HR to Mays. I remember hearing about it on radio the morning after and justly now legendary.

That game would never happen today in the age of pampered delicate pitchers. Each side would have had seven different pitchers.

I was a young teenager on Oct 8th 1956 when Don Larsen pitched his Perfect No-Hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers in Yankee Stadium.
I watched this entire game....and, there is nothing in Baseball in terms of pitching that compares. It was, and still is the GREATEST game
ever pitched.

Surreal is an excellent choice of words to describe this World Series game. The Dodgers pitcher, Sal Maglie, pitched a great game, also. But, one pitch too good for Mickey Mantle,
who hit a HR.

Here we are 59 years later; and, I will never forget Mantle's catch in deep Left-Centerfield to rob Gil Hodges of a possible inside-the-park HR. Hodges hit the ball approx. 440 feet.

And I guess I should say non-playoff game . Including playoffs Don wins, I think lol. Very difficult to pick because one was where it mattered most.
