May 13, 1952 – Pirates Minor League right-hander Ron Necciai struck out 27 batters over nine no-hit innings for the Appalachian League’s Bristol Twins in a 7-0 win over the Welch Miners. MLB.com’s Matt Monagan talked to Necciai in 2021 about that special night.

Just so all know. 27 strike outs is 243 pitches.

Which means he pitched more than 243 in a minor league game. A minor league game that was also decided already.

Sure 1952 was different. But damn!! He probably had over 300 pitches in that game.

Did msg’s dad do your math for you?

3 * 27 = 81

Lou Gehrig? 12 years?

No, for Lou it was 9 years which would be 2nd, 1927 and 1936...technically the modern award didn't start until like 1932 so his older one was a 'different' award that we basically say is MVP

How about Willie Stargell? I know he won 1 late in his career but not sure if that was his only one.
