And, Bill Hands was even faster than Jenkins.
We went to a Giants game at Wrigley that was Hands against Gaylord Perry.
Game lasted under 100 minutes!
We saw Gibson/Jenkins 6 times. Three of those games were, you called it, 2-1.
Two were shutouts. Gibson won 2-0, Jenkins won 1-0.
Your Cards won 4 of those games.
In 5 of the games, both pitchers went all 9.
A VERY different era in baseball.

That was THE craziest play I've ever seen Pas-de-Calais Sep 2021 #3

Wait a minute, why didn't the runner on first just stop at second? brush Sep 2021 #4

Absolutely right. Even a Pony League level of base running and that's one out. The Polack MSgt Sep 2021 #6
