That was a terrific article! I’ve been a big baseball fan since 1961 and, of course, knew that Haddix had pitched a no-hitter for more than 9 innings and lost. I didn’t realize that he was perfect through 12, and lost it in the 13th. The writer did a great job in explaining what it would have been like to have been there, and it is a story for the ages.

Legendary, to be sure

Thank you for reading it. It was a beautiful article and I am constantly happy that sportswriters referred to players as "Mr". quite often back then.

Such a difference to today.
