Winning Pitcher Mickey Lolich- one of my boyhood idols. No taller than 6' and usually just over 200 lbs. He was strong as a bull. He should be in the Hall of Fame. Often led the league in strike outs and complete games. He had so many years where he had very poor run support. He lost a lot of games where he gave up 2 or 3 runs. He's also the last pitcher to win 3 complete games in the World Series.

Likewise and agree. He should have won the 1971 Cy Young Award.

What great camera angles! Much better than today's TV coverage where you feel you're sitting in the damned bleachers with the camera behind the pitcher dominating the whole damned game! I love the camera angle behind the catcher and umpire!

@user-gu4tv4hp6s I suppose MLB will try to make baseball more like soccer. Make the fielders have to kick the ball to get a runner out. No less stupid than some of the shit that has already been done to screw up baseball.

Hardly disastrous. There’s been a lot of great and exciting baseball played since then and a few of the expansion teams have won World Series. Races have been frankly more exciting with more teams involved.

Divisional playoffs was the degradation and death of any real baseball, for many reasons. Professional baseball used to be one of my great joys - now it only makes me feel disgust and I am no longer interested in it.

Wowww...STEVE CARLTON....this would be his only appearance in the series and he wouldn’t appear in another WS game until 1980 when the Phillies topped the Royals for the title...at this point, he hadn’t yet mastered that wicked slider which helped him become a HALL OF FAMER...thus, the Tigers were able to tee off on his fastball...who would have foreseen back in ‘68 that this young left hander would someday have a bust in Cooperstown....

Carlton pitched in relief in Game 2. Nelson Briles was the Birds on the Bat starter in Game 2 against the Tigers. Carlton did have a WS start (Game 5) in 1967 against Boston.....6 IP, one run (unearned due to a Mike Shannon error) against Jim Lonborg. Boston faced Gibby & Lefty back-to-back in 1967 (Games 4 & 5)....15 innings pitched and only allowed one unearned run by those two aces against the Carmines.

The CBC in Canada made a copy of this game using technology that produced a black and white image. It was cheaper to do it this way back then. We are lucky to even have a copy of this game because NBC erased and destroyed lots of old sports broadcasts to reuse expensive video tape.

Lolich's at bat in the second inning is very interesting. On the 0-1 pitch at the 45:35 mark, he absolutely swings, which home plate umpire Jim Honochick called a ball. Unreal they missed that call or that McCarver didn't point down to 1st. Then the pitch at 46:25 is called a ball when it is pretty much right down the middle. Considering he homered, that really could have changed the outcome of this game.

@michellamarche6547 7 жыл бұрын

I believe it was not part of the routine of a catcher, in that era, to go to the first or third base umpires to check whether the hitter had checked his swing or not. I once read, actually, that Johnny Bench was the first catcher to think about that, early in the 70's. But I cannot guarantee this is a true fact.

Well, the one thing about these old B&W games that I don’t like is that you know ahead of time who’s going to win. In fact, you know ahead of time every play and every pitch. Sometimes it gets boring. The big plus with today’s game is the element of surprise. That’s gotta count for something.
