He's no Marichal or Spahn, over 400 pitches thrown between the two in a 16 inning game but what's more remarkable it was a 1-0 game with Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and the Willies, Mays and McCovey playing. Of course Mays had the winning RBI.

Something more, both teams used only 11 players, compare that the Phils games today. I saw all those guy play at Connie Mack way back when.

That is a bit before my time. I barely remember Connie Mack as a kid, although I saw Jim Bunning throw a perfect game while sitting on my father’s lap in 1964.

Here’s an article about that game, which some call “the greatest game ever pitched.”

Well, we are talking about two very distinct eras in baseball, nevertheless, Tim has 2 Cy Young Awards. Spahn only has 1 and Marichal - unbelievably - has none.
