What was the best game pitched

[Dry1313]

Just like the entire 96 World Series, Right? And don't forget '99.

I can't believe you people. Harvey Haddix threw 12 innings of PERFECT GAME ball only to lose on a HR in the 13th. How does a 10 inning shutout compare?

never heard of haddix till today, maybe because he LOST that game, thats why it gets overlooked and does not get that much attention?

what year of the playoffs was it and what team was he on?

what year of the playoffs was it and what team was he on?

It was not in the playoffs, it was in May 1959. Dry1313 is just totally confused.

[Dry1313]

I was confused. But as for Haddix, shut your mouth, no other pitcher has even come close to that type of domination. Granted, he lost in his 13TH STRAIGHT INNING. Not many relievers could have 12 straight perfect innings, let alone a Starter. In one game. So yeah, if you haven't heard of Haddix you don't know jack about baseball.

Lew Burdette won that game and he went 13 full shutout innings.

[Porter]

Harvey Haddix.

That was masterful but he lost the game, probably best in a losing cause.

so he's just like another dawn larsen? overall crappy pitcher, but had his b-day, new years and xmas durring one day and pitched his ass off and people can only remember him for that.

[Dry1313]

Lew Burdette was a ****ing psycho though DK. After he pitched that game, he pitched a no-no next year with the Yankees, stated he was the "best pitcher ever," and demanded a $100,000 raise. Harvey Haddix was the man.
