   One Game, One Run, Two Pitchers

   On July 2, 1963, at Candlestick Park, a 42-year-old Warren Spahn and a 25-year-old Juan Marichal walked to the mound, and neither one would come off it.Sixteen innings. Nobody scored through fifteen. Marichal threw 227 pitches. Spahn threw 201, and the last one left the park on Willie Mays' bat in the bottom of the 16th. Final score 1 to 0, four hours and ten minutes. Both men were working on three days rest. Neither missed his next start.Spahn was a Battle of the Bulge veteran who won 363 games and did not throw his first big league pitch until he was 25.Marichal was a kid from the Dominican Republic who would win more games than anyone else in the 1960s. Peter Lemieux tells the story of the night two aces refused to be taken out of a game, and the friendship their families built out of it.0:00 Hats Off, Here We Go1:12 The Friend Who Gave Me This Story4:04 Candlestick Park, July 19635:45 Who Warren Spahn Really Was7:33 The Kid From the Dominican Republic9:23 Fifteen Innings, Nobody Scores12:32 The 227th Pitch13:02 Willie Mays Ends It in the 16th14:15 The Standing OvationMore great games on Rounding Third- The Greatest Baseball Game You Never Heard Of https://youtu.be/OtKk1WCLlxc- Mets vs Braves: The Marathon Game That Wouldn't End https://youtu.be/cZa8RgWGDTw- 1.12 ERA. 28 Complete Games. 1968 Was Bob Gibson's Year https://youtu.be/qAREG6XVQ5c- The Baseball Game That Should Be Taught in History Class https://youtu.be/NUgyX18i7RkSources: Society for American Baseball Research, MLB.com, Jim Kaplan's book on the game.Rounding Third is baseball history storytelling from Peter Lemieux on the BadderSports network.

   Babe Ruth Pitching

   Everybody knows Babe Ruth hit 714 home runs. Almost nobody remembers that before any of it, he was the best left-handed pitcher in baseball.From 1915 through 1917 he won 18, 23, and 24 games for the Boston Red Sox. He led the American League in 1916 with a 1.75 ERA and nine shutouts. In Game 2 of that World Series he pitched all 14 innings, gave up one run in the first, and won it 2 to 1.Then Boston decided they would rather have his bat, cut his innings in half, and sold him to New York.Peter Lemieux tells the story of the pitcher hiding inside the slugger, the strangest no-hitter in the record book, and the 86 years Boston spent paying for the decision.0:00 The Player You Think You Know1:34 Nobody Remembers He Was a Pitcher2:16 The Strangest No-Hitter in the Record Book4:28 The Numbers Nobody Quotes5:16 14 Innings, One Run, One World Series Game6:50 Boston Wanted His Bat, Not His Arm9:15 Sold to New York for a Broadway Play10:55 86 Years and the Curse of the BambinoMore Babe Ruth and more Red Sox on Rounding Third- Beyond the Home Runs: The Untold Stories of Babe Ruth https://youtu.be/PClozv1HACE- Unrecognized No Hitters https://youtu.be/HXEa2z6oeLM- Shoeless Joe Jackson's Surprising Life After Scandal https://youtu.be/cBBsVtKDOro- Who Was Smokey Joe and Why Did Baseball Forget Him? https://youtu.be/a90bf0vqTToSources: Society for American Baseball Research, National Baseball Hall of Fame, Library of Congress.Rounding Third is baseball history storytelling from Peter Lemieux on the BadderSports network.

   Unrecognized No Hitters

   Twenty-seven outs. Not one base hit. It is the thing every pitcher dreams about from Little League on, and most of them never get within a mile of it.Six times in Major League Baseball history, a pitching staff threw one and lost the game anyway.Ken Johnson, Houston, 1964. Steve Barber and Stu Miller, Baltimore, 1967. Andy Hawkins, the Yankees, 1990. Matt Young, Boston, 1992. Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo, the Angels, 2008. Hunter Greene and Art Warren, Cincinnati, 2022. Between them they gave up nothing, and they won nothing.Peter Lemieux tells the story of the best thing these men ever did on a baseball field, and why almost nobody remembers it. Think of the golfer who stops after work, plays a few holes on an empty course at six in the evening, aces a par 3, and has no one there to sign the card.Have you ever done something extraordinary that nobody saw?CHAPTERS0:00 A different kind of opening0:09 Field of Dreams and the Hall of Famers in the corn1:07 This field, this game: say it with me1:51 Why baseball is a reflection of real life3:05 The hole in one nobody saw4:11 Six pitchers, one impossible box score5:14 1964: Ken Johnson, Houston Colt .45s6:24 1967: Steve Barber and Stu Miller, Orioles7:32 1990: Andy Hawkins, Yankees9:02 1992: Matt Young, Red Sox10:13 2008: Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo, Angels11:19 2022: Hunter Greene and Art Warren, Reds12:39 The accomplishment no one saw13:41 People will come, RayMORE NO-HITTER STORIES ON THIS CHANNELDave Stieb's heartbreaking road to a no-hitter: https://youtu.be/pbTQPKW-zFINolan Ryan, Bob Feller, and the rarity of the no-hitter: https://youtu.be/K_Wa9rRXUAwRounding Third is baseball history storytelling from the BadderSports network: https://baddersports.com/roundingthirdLove baseball?
