As the thread title states....Was Marichal-Spahn better than Harvey Haddix-Lew Burdette?
What are your thoughts and why?

Both were incredible pitchers' duels, but in the 1963 game, Marichal gave up a hit in the first inning, and Spahn gave up a hit in the second, and there was a total of 17 hits in the game, whereas Haddix was perfect for 12 innings, so I have to cast my vote for Haddix-Burdette.They call me Mr. Baseball.

Hard to top a 16 inning shutout
and two top of the line hall of fame pitchers1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

Hard, but Haddix did top it, IMO. 12 innings of perfection against the defending NL champion Milwaukee Braves, with Aaron, Mathews, and Adcock in their primes.Originally posted by 9RoyHobbsRF View PostThey call me Mr. Baseball.

no he did not top it
he gave up a run and lost
Marichal pitched a shutout and won in more innings
Marichal a W and no runs
Haddix a L and 1 run

Both games are a case of "who blinks first loses".
I'd argue that Haddix-Burdette is better because both teams had few chances to score. The Pirates only had two RISP opportunities (both with two out and men on third) despite hitting 12 singles. The Braves scored on their lone chance with Adcock's homer-double to end the game.

Harvey Haddix is a freaking legend
why? cuz i have a card of his from 1959Comment

I'd say the Haddix game was better. I think Haddix's 12 perfect innings may be the best regular season pitching performance of all time.Comment

Haddix gave up a run in less innings
Marichal pitched 4 more innings and did not allow a run
in a hundred years Haddix game was not better
did you hear giving up zero runs is better than giving up a run every day of the week and twice on sunday1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

and if you want to go the rare thing
take koufax perfect game vs hendley's 1 hitter
blows the doors off burdette and haddix who gave up 13 combined hits vs 1 for koufax and hendley1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

Wouldn't be the first time, probably not the last.
