At a quick glance, the black and white filter makes it seem like this was so much longer ago than it was.
48 years ago was 1975.
Dude was a freak though. Only one of him
It’s actually 49 years ago(The image seems to be a year older).
And also, Cecil Cooper struck out SIX TIMES that game.
I’ve never even heard of a pitcher throwing 135 pitches in a game.
And I know this guy wasn’t tossing slow balls the whole time.
God damn.
Nolan was built different.
Nobody ever mentions Luis Tiant completed this game, going 14 1/3 innings in a 4-3 loss.
And somehow never won a cy young
The other day I watched a Stanford hurler toss a 156-pitch complete game win. Not a no-no, but the season was on the line. Plus, he beat Texas, so this Sooner fan was happy.
