RIP Mickey Lolich

[Colotiger]

He broke a lot of Cardinals fans’ hearts in 1968.

Soft tossing lefty who throttled the Cardinals' offense in '68. Won over 200 games and struck out over 2800 batters in his career.

Coming out show for lolich. Also saw that yesterday Three Dog Night singer Chuck Negron passed at 83.

Jeremiah was a Bull frog.

[The Nard]

He was another in the line of solid pitchers who throw a ton of inning, and he never had the TJ surgery. Strong legs, solid base helped immensely - like Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Jack Morris, etc. today’s pitchers could learn a lot from reviewing their films.

Yes he did. I was in 8th grade. We watched all the games on TV during school. Denny McLain was the guy everyone thought would dominate. He, to my knowledge, was the last 30 game winner (31-6).

[sikeston bulldog2]

Odd stats - in his last eleven seasons, he lost less than ten games one- 1968, and he lost nine that year. Twice after 1968 he led the AL in losses, 19 and 21.

Throw 12 consecutive seasons of over 200 innings, and 4 time over 300 innings, topping out at 371.

He never threw less than 144 innings in his career. Read that again.

He never won 30.

Two trivia questions from 68- last 30 game winner, and NL era record.

I was talking about Denny McLain winning 30. And, he did in 1968.

[ScotchMIrish]

May he rest in peace. I saw game 6. First, last and only world series game I will see.

[LewisL]

As a kid collecting baseball cards, I remember being amazed at his stats, especially 1971 when led led the AL with 25 wins. Late 60's-early 70''s, he always seemed to be among league leaders in wins, K's, CG's, IP, etc.

I just looked in him up in Baseball Reference, and it surprises me to see he's not in the HOF

Hall of Very Good

[1983cougar]

This was the World Series that we really should have won (and 1985 but we won't talk about that one). I saw game 1 that year which is the only ws game I have attended. As a 10 year old my vivid memory is of all the adult men wearing suits. Lolich had a great series , RIP.

[nonsense]. Different game. Pitchers are used differently.

[Cardinals1964]

He broke a lot of Cardinals fans’ hearts in 1968.

When you watched that series, what were you thinking at the time? Is it still clear to you to this day.

[Clubmaker2]
