I could listen to Juan Marichal tell stories all day

Marichal was my favorite pitcher while I was growing up. In 1974 when Marichal was sold to the Boston Red Sox, I was in heaven as I lived in Massachusetts and was a Red Sox fan; I was devastated when Marichal was let go after going 5-1 that season by Boisdton. Today, I have an autographed baseball and photo of my favorite pitcher, Juan Marichal. He is a very underrated MLB pitcher who won more games in the 1960s than anybody else.

What great players we had in the 1960s. We will never see the likes of these guys again.

WOW! 😀 Wonderful Person, with a Beautiful Heart & One of the Greatest Baseball Players Ever! A TRUE HERO⚾JUAN MARICHAL!

One of the very best! He had match up with many greats pitchers of his era. Guys like Koufax, Spahn, Gibson, Drysdale, etc.

One of the best interviews of all time with one of the best players of all time.

Just like most things today, look how much we have devolved. The pitchers of today couldn't shine this man's shoes.

I listened to Juan's first game on the radio as a kid in the bronx n.y. in july les kitter was the broadcaster I also heard mcCovey first game 4 for 4 against Robin Roberts to me marcial was the best right hand pitcher I ever saw

En el Coliceo Gallistico Santo Domingo vi a Juan Marichal y me llevó a Los Minas. Dios lo bendiga siempre. Eso fue en los años 80.

My favorite trio of players of all time - Mays, McCovey & Marichal... So amazing that they didn't win it all at least one time... Marichal is now barely mentioned now when the greatest pitchers are discussed... He was better than Gibson; he had a winning record against Koufax... 1966 - 25-6, 2.23 ERA, 307 innings and only 36 walks with 25 complete games!!!!! I'm a Red Sox fan but I lived in SF in '62. After returning to New England I used to get up at 6am the next morning every time Marichal pitched to hear the result... There was just no one quite like him, and he did NOT get his due...

Juan and pedro two of the best dominican pitchers

Without doubt ... one of the best pitchers ever.

He has a real soft spot in his heart for animals too.

5/24/63 - I was working in S.F., age 18, decided to go to the L.A. vs. S.F. game that night, a Friday; though a Giant fan I was hoping to see Koufax wrack up strikeouts or maybe even a no-hitter! You never knew what Koufax would come up with. In the first inning, the Giants knocked Koufax out of the game, he pitched less than a full inning and I remember thinking "so much for a spectacular Koufax show". Marichal pitched a 4-hitter that night, Giants won 7-1, and as more seasons went by and revealed the greatness of both of those pitchers, I concluded I had seen a rare kayo of prime Koufax and one of the great matchups in baseball history, just one-sided that night. I was able to see several Marichal performances (I lived in Marin County just north of the Golden Gate) over the years but that was the only game I watched Koufax live. It's interesting to research the Cy Young voting during that decade and note what Marichal did---didn't win even 1 vote for Young award (until 1970). Look at what he did at those seasons in the 60s decade---eyepopping numbers over many years!

This man sure projects in his talking a very gentle, kind-hearted, humble man compared with the fiery monster he was that one summer day in 1965 at SF's Candlestick Park.

Best pitcher I ever saw.

1960s was definitely the decade of the PITCHER!

one of the greatest pitchers of all time, in an era with bob gibson, sandy koufax, ferguson jenkins, tom seaver, jim palmer, nolan ryan to name a few, juan's stats match up with anyone.

Class act. Great interview. Like able guy

In my opinion the reason why Marichal never received The Cy Young Award was because where he came from . Same thing with being inducted into The Baseball Hall Of Fame,some form of discrimination.
