Two pitchers managed to dodge the shrapnel. Ray Burris of the Cubs and Rawly Eastwick of the Phillies (winning pitcher that day) pitched a collective 3.2 innings without giving up a single run. Ironically, both had terrible ERAs going into that game. Starters Randy Lerch and Dennis Lamp, by contrast, lasted a combined 0.2 innings, giving up 11 runs on 11 hits (including 3 HRs).

One of my favorite things about watching these old games is seeing all the unique, individualized batting stances & pitching deliveries. Guys figured out what worked for them & used it, no matter how it looked. These days, kids are taught in little league & high school "THIS is how you do it...". The result is, most major leaguers today use stances & deliveries that look like they came out of a cookie cutter. Just a random observation...

Sutter should have pitched around Schmidt in the 10th with 2 out nobody on. I would have taken my chances against Del Unser with 2 outs & a runner on first. Sutter did strike Unser out. Mike Schmidt loved hitting at Wrigley Field with the 368 foot alleys. His career numbers at Wrigley: 138 games 524 at bats 118 runs 161 hits 50 home runs 124 rbi 77 walks .307 average .396 on base pct. .653 slugging. Imagine if Schmidt played his entire career with the Cubs, he would have hit over 700 home runs.

I think you meant 18 - 16 and Schmidts 4th home run was the game winner. He hit over 60 home runs against the Cubs in his career and over 40 of them were at Wrigley Field. Crazy to think a visiting player could have over 40 home runs in any MLB ballpark. Schmidt hit 4 consecutive home runs another time also. I think it was against the Giants. In his last at bat of a game he hit one and then the next 3 at bats the next game he hit home runs. I know this because he was my favorite player back then and I didn't miss a daily newspaper during baseball season. I grew up in Orange County, California but was born in New Jersey. Back in 1981 I went back to see my Dad and that side of the family. They got tickets to a Philly game and I was so much looking forward to seeing the Phillies in their home park. Well we all know what happened that year. Yep the strike so I never got to see Schmidty in his own ballpark, I did get to see Veterns Stadium though. When we returned the tickets. That sucked. I did get to see him many times at Dodger Stadium. He only hit 1 home run in all the games I went to.

But after this crazy game, they would lose something like 11 of 19. They did not seem like the same team after this contest. For the Phillies would finish 84-78 (a record similar to this), fourth place in the NL East and 14 games behind the Pirates. Though the next season, 1980, they won it all.

Only if they reinstate the 1919 White Sox. That set the precedent for gambling offenses.

+Pastor John I not completely familiar with all that only part I remember it may be wrong didn't Shoeless Joe also get in trouble and he had awesome World Series? Another did Pete Rose ever throw any games to win or bet on his own team. The only reason I knew anything about those Whitesox was from a Film I saw when I was kid 11 Men Out I think. I watched alot more MLB when I wax younger and played but I quit watching it like I did then. This was when Cubs still had to always play day games because they didn't have lights yet and got to watch them on WGN everyday after school.

Yeah, Joe Jackson was a 'natural' like Pete Rose in that they both played the game well. I'm not old enough to have seen him, but the numbers bear this out. The problem in 1919 was that there was no prohibition against players gambling, and the reputation of the game was in question, because the players are always in a position to fix games (those White Sox were not the only players in question, just the ones who were caught). Had MLB not been so drastic, they were afraid that the sport would turn into what pro wrestling is today. Thus the ruling no one must be associated with gambling at all. Personally, I believe Pete Rose played it straight up, and bet on himself to win, and in a sense he is in a hall of fame because we still remember him. Unfortunately, if the game is to be believed as honest and not 'fixed', no one can be allowed to even bet on themselves to win. Also, you're dead on about steroids being another form of cheating, and those payers should probably be treated in the same way.

+Pastor John oh I'm not old enough either I just remember that movie I think 11 Men Out and they also had his character in the Kevin Costner film build it they will come about building ball park in corn field. those 2 films are when I first heard of Shoeless Joe. the 1st film was all about the 1919 World Series. Both were good films

Good point about being in the Hall because we remember him. Shoeless Joe too. Here it is almost a century later and we're discussing him. Pete knew it was against the rules and he was the manager when he was caught. As far as I'm concerned he should have been banned, and I don't even like seeing him on the pregame shows. If the public ever came to believe that players were betting on/fixing games that would be the end of baseball.

How about this for a 3 game stretch at home... 5/16/79 Cubs lose to Phillies 13-0, 5/17/79 Cubs lose to Phillies 23-22, 5/18/79 Cubs lose to Pirates 9-5. All but 2 of the runs the Cubs allowed in these 3 games were earned. Thus, the Cubs pitching staff gave up 43 earned runs in 28 innings over these 3 games for an era of 13.82. WOW! The Cubs finished the 1979 season with an 80-82 record while going 9-22 in September. They were 51-35 from June-August.

True Love Seeking Accomplished - Kingman did not play for the Cubs in 1977. He played first for the Mets, then for the Padres, then the Angels, and finally the Yankees. He signed for the Cubs as a free agent in the offseason.
