We asked you: Who is the most impressive pitcher you remember breaking into the majors? Among your responses:
What memories. Art Mahaffey. I thought he was going to be one of the all-time greats and he sure started out that way. In his very first appearance he came into a game against the Cardinals in relief and I think pitched a perfect inning. ... Art finished the season 7-3 with a 2.31 era and was 3rd for ROY. In 1961 he struck out 17 Cubs in a game and I think that is still a Phillies record. In 1962 he was 19-14 pitching for a not very good Phillies team and I think made the AS team.
I also remember getting his 1955 Topps bubble-gum card and being “awed” by his 1954 stat line on the back of his rookie card. Just check out his numbers on the Baseball Reference website. I don’t believe anyone, before or since can match them. Unfortunately, Spooner’s career lasted only those two games in ‘54 and part of the ‘55 season before injury tragically ended it.
He was a “shooting star” in the summer sky. I’ve always found it hard to believe that baseball historians and other longtime fans hardly ever give him any recognition.We compiled today’s newsletter using reporting from Gustav Elvin, Andrea Canales, Jonathan Tannenwald, Keith Pompey, EJ Smith, Alex Coffey, Mike Jensen, and Meghann Morhardt.
