27 Years Ago Today...

[clancyphile]

Today marks the 27th anniversary of a moment of Brewers history. On this day. no matter how bad it turns out to be, just think of what the 1987 Orioles went through 27 years ago.

 

After they probably did the finishing touches on their taxes, they had to go to work - there was a game scheduled that day with the Milwaukee Brewers, who sent Juan Nieves to the mound. At the end of that game, here was what Juan's line looked like:

9 innings pitched, 0 earned runs, 0 runs, five walks, seven strikeouts, and NO HITS ALLOWED.

 

Hope that helps you get through this day.

27 years ago... 9 innings, 3 outs, 27 outs, DO WE GET A REPEAT TODAY??!?

I remember sitting in a bar with a buddy watching the game. I went to the pay phone and called my dad as soon as the game ended to see it he had been watching (he had). I'll never forget that play by Yount at the end. As soon as the ball went off the bat I was thinking it was going into the gap.

Sadly this game was about a year before I started really paying attention to baseball so I didn't see it. I hope someday I'll actually get to see a Brewers pitcher throw a no-hitter.

Hard to believe it's been 27 years. Those 13 games are one of my favorite seasons, all by themselves, and the Yount catch may be the single most thrilling, cathartic moment in Brewers history. Thanks for the reminder, Clancy!

And for years, my brother and I would mimic the seemingly unnecessary dive by Yount by catching ball THEN jumping on the bed in a moment of pure drama.

You aren't alone, I think all of us around that age did the same, my brother and I did that's for sure. My brother still imitates Cooper's unique batting stance to this day sometimes during his softball games.

I missed the game as well. I ended up going to some chick flick with far more romance than comedy that night. I got out as the post game show was finishing. Obviously I wasn't dating anyone as cool as Hawing at the time. I did get to watch Odell Jones near no hitter though.

Thanks Rock.

I remember after the game they asked Cal Ripken Sr if he thought Murray's ball was going to be a hit when it left the bat, and he said, "Yes, until I saw who he hit it at."
