I saw Koufax strike out 18 in a game at the Coliseum in 1959 when I was a kid. And I remember listening to Vince Scully call his perfect game where the other pitcher threw a 1-hitter (the Cubs?). The one hit had nothing to do with the run the Dodgers got in that game. As I remember it was a walk, a stolen base and an error or two.

Maybe it's the nostalgia for the past, but baseball did seem to be better, "back in the day".

"I saw Koufax strike out 18 in a game at the Coliseum in 1959 when I was a kid."

Then you should be among a fairly small group who remember what a "moonshot" was.

Maybe it's the nostalgia for the past, but baseball did seem to be better,
"back in the day".

Back when Bob Costas had a radio show, I remember him one of his
interviews with Micky Mantle.
Mantle talked about how he and Billy Martin would ride the subway from
their digs to Yankee Stadium.

It WAS a simpler time.
