OTD in 1969: Pirates righty Bob Moose no-hits the Mets
3 comments
The Pirates defeated the Mets 4-0 on this date 56 years ago as Moose spun his no-hit masterpiece in front of more than 38,000 spectators at Shea Stadium. Moose walked three and struck out six while picking up his 12th victory of the season.
Here’s an excellent recap of the game. It reminds me of how much talent Moose had and how well he pitched at times before arm woes sapped some of his stuff.

And then 3 years and a couple weeks later he threw a wild pitch that cost the Bucs the NL championship.
