A Pitchers Hitting Streak | Past Ball Podcast

This is the Pastball Podcast, a podcast that talks about a baseball history moment and under the amount of time you could probably run around the bases. And I'm your host, Matt. Let's talk about Tom Siever, the Hall of Fame pitcher, his hitting streak. He was obviously a Hall of Famer for the New York Mets, was known for an outstanding pitching career. But let's talk about the time that he embarked on a hitting streak that surprised many fans and baseball lovers. In 1972, it began in July.

The streak lasted 14 games, which is pretty impressive for a pitcher that was a major league record for the pitchers at the time. During the streak, he demonstrated his ability to handle the bat well, collecting several hits, driving in runs. His contributions at the plate added value to his overall performance. Sievers' hitting streak helped his team, the Mets, in several games, providing offense when he was not on the mound. It came to an end after 14 games, but it remains a notable achievement in Sievers' career.

David Clyde's Major League Baseball Debut

This is the Pastball Podcast, a podcast that talks about a baseball history moment and under the amount of time you can probably run around the bases. And I'm your host, Matt. David Clyde's Major League Baseball debut, also known as the David Clyde experiment, was an experiment in 1973 due to the unusual circumstances surrounding an early entrance into professional baseball. Clyde was just 18 years old when he made his debut as a pitcher for the Texas Rangers on June 27th, 1973.

He was drafted first overall in the 73 draft by the Rangers. He was rushed to the majors immediately after being drafted. In his debut game against the Twins, he pitched five innings, giving up only one run and earning a victory. The debut drew a lot of attention and excitement with a significant increase in attendance for that game. But the pressure and the expectations really got to the young teenager and he struggled to maintain consistent performances after his debut season. He ended up having...

injuries and everything else and he actually retired from baseball at the age of 26.

When he was in Florida for spring training with the Mets, he was working with one of his pigs and was bitten on the hand.
