I wasn’t around then.. but I watched the replay of one of the 68 WS games
Mickey Lolich was fearless. He belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Mickey might get in there some day, maybe on the old-timer’s committee. A 272-inning season, then four straight 300-inning seasons. They worked him to death, nobody can do that any more. Not even close.
If you look at his career record, he falls a bit short. But he obviously had an outstanding World Series in '68 with three wins, including Game 7 vs. Bob Gibson, who deservedly is in the HOF. (Gibson won two World Series Game 7s.)
