1963 PIT vs. 1919 DET

Pittsburgh scored all five of their runs in a third-inning explosion — Bob SKINNER cleared the bases with a two-run double, Bill MAZEROSKI followed with another two-run double, and Al McBEAN ( 9 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 SO, 1 BB, 1 HB, 8 LOB) held on from there.

Detroit clawed back to 5-3 in the eighth on Ty COBB’s RBI double and Bobby VEACH’s run-scoring single, but MAZEROSKI snuffed the rally with a double play.

McBEAN went the distance, scattering nine hits while the Pirates made the one inning count.

Winners move up a step, losers move down a step, while the unfortunate team that drops the tribble at Step 1 is ejected from the simulation, unceremoniously dumped from the arch, and left to the cold void of the ship’s memory purge before the dropped franchise rights are auctioned off to the highest-bidding Ferengi trader and a brand-new random team is materialized in their place.

Elam VANGILDER threw a complete game no-hitter, facing just 28 batters — it would have been a perfect game had he not botched a throw to first on a comebacker in the eighth.

The Browns jumped on Ron GUIDRY for two first-inning runs thanks to an error-filled circus (Edit: just the Yankees doing Yankee things, gosh I love this game) that loaded the bases, then Ken WILLIAMS added an insurance run in the sixth with an RBI single.

GUIDRY did his job on the mound but got zero support — four Yankee errors doomed any chance of a comeback.

Upon being interviewed years after his retirement as a player, [Jim] Bottomley expressed his personal philosophy perfectly: “I don’t have a regret in the world. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve loved every minute of it.” Why was he nicknamed “Sunny Jim”?
