Hard-Luck Harvey Haddix and the Greatest Game Ever Lost Paperback / softback
by Lew Freedman
Paperback / softback
Description
He pitched a baseball game that was more than perfect, and yet he lost.
Southpaw Harvey Haddix had logged a solid but unspectacular career by the time he took the mound on May 26, 1959.
Facing the Milwaukee Braves, he set down the first 36 batters in a row, or 12 innings' worth--a perfect game three innings longer than the norm.
But his Pittsburgh Pirates couldn't score, either, and Haddix lost in the 13th inning on a controversial play.
This book recounts Haddix's one-of-a-kind performance and describes the official decisions that changed the historical record.
