Wonderful Footage... Reds/Cubs 1965. Jim Maloney's No Hitter!

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!

10 walks in a no hitter...yikes indeed. I think I remember that A.J. Burnett had 9 BB's and a hit batter, and Doc Ellis had 8 and a hit batter for runner up status. Although, come to think of it, Ellis was on LSD so he's lucky he didn't walk more.

I'll see Scott's signed ticket, and raise him a signed scored scorecard...

Doug,
Nice scorecard with a bonus vintage Maloney signature!

I was stunned that in the bottom of the ninth, with two outs and runners on first and second, the Cubs let pitcher Larry Jackson hit! The winning run was on second base and you send your tired pitcher to the plate. And then amazingly, he walked to load the bases!
So great to see starting pitchers go so deep into the game, but that at bat sure was strange.

Greg,
That's a pretty astute observation.
Not only is pitcher Larry Jackson batting, but he is only a .128 hitter in 1965. Ouch!
Did you also note that both Larry Jackson and Jim Maloney wore uniform #46?
Weird...

Sweet, Doug...

Love that scorecard... especially with the red ink Maloney sig. You and Scott really have this collecting thing wired!
