Sounds even better than the Mother's Day Miracle, though of course in that game, the come from behind team actually won the game!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1633977637855362542010-06-02T11:21:05.775-07:002010-06-02T11:21:05.775-07:00No.

They then scored 9 runs to tie the game 9-9, but nevertheless lost to the Angels in extra innings."<br /><br />Someone else: "There was no such game, but there was <a href="http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1976/B08220NYA1976.htm" rel="nofollow">this one</a>: which was played at Yankee Stadium [against the Angels], in which the Yankees trailed 8-0 going to the bottom of the ninth, scored eight to tie, and then lost 11-8 in 11 innings."<br /><br />That sounded like the game I remembered so I looked at the URL and saw the date!<br /><br />***<br /><br />Also: For games for which Retrosheet has play-by-play, the most runs scored in the 9th inning by a team that was shut out through 8 is 10. That has occurred twice:<br /><a href="http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1962/B08151CLE1962.htm" rel="nofollow">August 15, 1962</a><br /><a href="http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2005/B09170FLO2005.htm" rel="nofollow">September 17, 2005</a><br /><br />***<br /><br />There was also some talk about odd major league debuts, including one where a guy fouled a ball off his head and knocked himself unconscious.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-42287145875086989292010-06-02T11:07:29.237-07:002010-06-02T11:07:29.237-07:00I always remember your story about the zero disapp...I always remember your story about the zero disappearing and the 8 going up. So it was on your first trip to Fenway! Very cool.<br /><br />Was this related to the Sparky Lyle link I sent?laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.com
