I have always been a Chicago White Sox fan, even though I'm taking a break from them right now until they start playing baseball better than a sub-.500 team.
Anyway, back in the 1960s, when I started following them, they had some excellent pitching.
On July 4, 1964, over the holiday weekend, this pitching performance was definitely on exhibition.
On July 4th itself, Gary Peters blanked the Cleveland Indians (and they will always be the Indians to me, not that new name) on three hits, winning 4-0. In the Sunday double header, it was Juan Pizarro tossing a seven-hitter in the opener, winning 2-0. Then in the second game, Joel Horlen only gave up four hits, winning 5-0.
In 27 innings, the Indians managed no runs on 14 hits. Now, that's some pitching.
The 1967 White Sox are still my all-time favorite team. They really should have gone to the World Series that year, but it was not to be.
