Marichal vs. Seaver is not a game you'd go into expecting a 9-5 final score.

Why does that Gallo tie illustration have a fat guy running the bases with the head of a long-necked woman growing out of his arm?

In those days that was only two or three weeks to the end of the regular season.

Grote was batting .317 on that day. While that was his best BA year, he must have gone into a horrendous slump at the end of the year. He finished at .282.

Willie McCovey was hitting .134? He finished at .293 in 1968, so that's either a typo or he went on one of the all-time great tears.
