Tim Wendel, “Castro’s Curveball.” An alternate history in which Castro signs with the Yankees.The Greatest Game Ever Pitched, focusing on the 16 inning 1-0 duel between Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal. Both pitchers went the whole way. Mays ended it in the bottom of the 16th with a solo home run.
This was in 1963. I remember reading about the game two days later.
It's not particularly good, but fascinating. Spahn was a great pitcher, but Juan Marichal was unique.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
