NO HITTER ALERT!

1982 NYY vs. 1922 SLB

.
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.

Weird Stat: The 1982 Yankees went hitless for nine innings against a pitcher from 1922. Dave WINFIELD was 0-for-3.

My creation…30 random teams hosted inside the Holodeck. Each round will be played in steps with 2 teams per step. 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.

1986 was one of [Teddy] Higuera’s best seasons. He had his only 20-win season, going 20–11 with 207 strikeouts and a 2.79 ERA. It was the first 20-win season by a Mexican-born pitcher in the American League. That season, he was also selected for his only All-Star Game appearance. - Wikipedia

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”? Bottomley’s own words said it all. - https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Jim-Bottomley/
