Thanks for posting these box scores.

It's somewhat of a thrill just reading the line-ups.....so many iconic names of yesteryear. Wow!

Interesting aspect of these two games... note how long it took to play each game: 1:27 for the first game, 2:19 for the second game.

I was reading an article in Sports Illustrated about Harvey Haddix’s heartbreaking game where he pitched a perfect game for 12 innings and lost in the 13th. That game... all 13 innings... only lasted 3 hours

Today’s 9-inning games last close to 3 hours...

WhenI was a kid in 1970 or ‘71 the used to have Old Timer’s Game before the regular game and I got to see the Old Time Cardinals against the Old Time Braves. I got to see Dizzy Dean and Ducky Medwick and Stan Musial and Leo Duerocher (sp?), plus Warren Spahn and Eddie Matthews.
