Stat of the Day

The stat of the day... comes from 43 years ago.

During the rain delay Sunday afternoon, WGN showed the last inning of Cincinnati hurler Jim Maloney's 10-inning no-hitter against the Cubs in 1965. The stat line is amazing:

10 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 10 BB, 12 K, 1 HBP

Ten walks, 12 strikeouts and one hit batter.

For a total of: 187 pitches!!

Some starters now don't even rack up 187 pitches over the span of two starts!

(Note: I loved that the Reds' uniforms had the player's name below the number. Made them look very much like a company softball team)
