I listened to that broadcast. While riding my bike home, I heard someone listening to the warm-up of the game on their porch. Back in my bedroom I turned on the radio to KDKA. I called downstairs to my dad watching TV (he usually listened to the Pirate broadcasts) that Harvey Haddix had a no-hitter after 3 innings. He said, "That's great, keep me posted.." I called down to him again after 6 innings which was enough to pull him away from his TV show. We listened together the rest of the way,
Great story! Wow…what a time…
More perfection than any other pitcher in history. But no perfect game awarded to Haddix. The Life is Unfair game.
As a Milwaukee Braves fan, I consider it the Greatest game very pitched, especially between two pitchers. Was listen to The Braves broadcast that night and Still have it on a album (now cd) the Braves did in 1964. Go Get ' m Braves. Highlights of The Milwaukee Braves games
Amazing accomplishment -- Harvey Haddix' number of perfect innings pitched in one game, 12, still stands as the record. One that may never be equaled or broken. Since 1959, only once has a perfect game even been taken into extra innings. On June 3, 1995, Pedro Martinez of the Montreal Expos became the second pitcher to take a perfect game into extra innings against the Padres in San Diego. He gave up a double to left fielder Bip Roberts leading off the 10th inning, and though he eventually won the game, he lost the perfect game and no-hitter. So Haddix went 3 more full perfect innings then Martinez. This should stand as among the 100 greatest accomplishments in Major League Baseball!
A 12 inning perfect game will never be pitched again...hell it is rare a pitcher goes through 7 innings now.
They barely go 6 innings anymore.
Apparently, Hank Aaron abandoned the base line after reaching 2nd base, and was passed by Joe Adcock, because he thought
that the ball did not pass over the fence on the fly. Under baseball rules only one run was allowed to score to end the game
1-0. Hypothetically, it would have been interesting if there were two outs at the time instead of only one. Would the
winning run be allowed to score? I think it would depend on whether Mantilla crossed home plate before Adcock passed
Aaron. What a mess that would have been to make that determination on the field.
I remember that game, though I didn't listen to it that night. You would have to say it was the best game ever pitched, twelve perfect innings, and against a very good Braves lineup that had won the NL pennant the two previous years. It will probably never be duplicated in the future, because the wimps who run today's version of baseball wouldn't let a pitcher go twelve or thirteen innings no matter how well he was doing. It's kind of an unwritten rule now.
totally agree. was listening g to the Braves radio broadcast that night. In 1959.
That’s the Mount Everest of perfect games ever pitched the rabbit in my opinion deserved better luck
May 26 in sports history: The greatest game ever pitched
May 26,1959: Can you imagine pitching 12 perfect innings and losing? Well, believe it or not, that's exactly what happened to Pittsburgh's Harvey Haddix 61 years ago today (May 26, 2020).
Bob,Harvey Haddix,Bob Prince,Forbes Field and "The Great One." Now,young American boys hardly play the game.The sit,watch,get fat and play with their stupid phones.
Aaron did not break Babe Ruth's record.The great ROGER MARIS came close.Even the best ballplayer ever,MICKEY MANTLE could not.bonds,mcguire and sosa are a joke.
Aaron broke Ruth's all time home run record did he not?
