Another CY hint…

Spoiler

He played in the ‘80s

Saberhagen?

 

[calsnowskier]

Two of them, actually. One in 2003 and one in 2009.

The one I am thinking of did it in ‘71. When I came across the story, it said he was the only one. Maybe that footnote was inaccurate….

The one I am thinking of is the brother of a HOFer

• 1970, Angel's vs. Brewers.
• 2003, Orioles vs. Tigers
• 2009, Rockies vs. Nationals

 

[Pure Steel]

Retired pitcher, appeared in a game, threw zero pitches.

Larry Yount?

Larry Yount?

That’s who I was looking for.

Hurt his arm throwing his on-field warmup pitches after he had already been announced for the game. Never pitched again.

There’s a thread on here about baseball oddities, I mentioned it a while back…..

 

[Cedrique]

Name the 9 Hall of Famers to throw no hitters since 1970. (does not include Rollie Fingers, who finished the last couple innings of a combined no hitter)

(9 different guys. Some of them threw multiple no hit games)

 

[Pure Steel]

Ryan, Seaver, Eck, Johnson, Morris, Halladay

 

[Cedrique]

Ryan, Seaver, Eck, Johnson, Morris, Halladay

Yep, 3 more

 

[Pure Steel]

Yep, 3 more

I know Maddux and Clemens didn’t, drawing a blank……

 

[calsnowskier]

I looked it up, but I was able to name…

Ryan, Eck, Johnson, Halliday, Seaver

The 3 that PS missed are tough. 2 lower-end HOFers and one not associated with the time frame in question.

 

[Cedrique]

Hint-One of them pitched tons of innings. Probably the last guy to win 20 and lose 20 games in the same season.

 

[broncosmitty]

Meh.

This is his first REALLY bad year. And he is 37.

I doubt he makes it to the Hall, but he was a good pitcher for a long time.

He came up at an older age. Hard to be a HOFer when you don’t hold down a spot in a rotation until you’re 27.

Phil Niekro

Phil Niekro

yep, 2 more

 

[Hunter Montana]

yep, 2 more

Scherzer and Verlander in about 6-7 years?

 

[msgkings322]

yep, 2 more

Vida Blue and Bob Gibson?

 

[calsnowskier]

Vida Blue and Bob Gibson?

Gibson is one of them.

Just one remaining. Lower-tier HOFer.

 

[All-Star Benchwarmer]

That’s who I was looking for.

Hurt his arm throwing his on-field warmup pitches after he had already been announced for the game. Never pitched again.

They would have been in time out during his warmup. When the ballgame officially resumed, there would have been another pitcher of record. So, no, he didn't throw the shortest number if pitches.
