(I put this here so I have easy access to these rules!!)

SO CLOSE.......

This is what Tim Lincecum did against the Padres 25Jun14.

  IP 9   /    H 0   /   R 0   /   ER 0   /   BB 1   /   SO 6   /   Pitches 113   /   Strikes 73 

He pitched a complete game no hit shut out.  (second time against the Padres) 

So Close to a perfect game!

His lone blemish was a one-out walk issued to Chase Headley (Batting .199) in the second inning.

He became the second pitcher to twice no-hit the same team, joining Hall of Famer Addie Joss, and is the fourth active pitcher with multiple no-hitters, joining Mark Buehrle, Justin Verlander and Homer Bailey.

Not to bad a game for someone who is struggling, with being 5-5 with a 4.90 ERA.

Black Sox Scandal---

1919 World Series footage

 

Seeing the old players is great, along with seeing the fans in New York "watching" the

game on the score board.

 

Shoeless Joe throwing the game..... "Say It Ain't So Joe" .......

  He played in all 8 games - 12 hits  /  1 HR   /  3 Doubles  /  6 RBIs  /  2 K  / 5 runs

        and a batting average  ---  .375

(I think he was on the take..... to maybe WIN )

Wish I could afford some of his cards from his playing days.
