History was made in Chicago as Tommy John(1-0) thrilled the crowd by tossing a
perfect game and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Washington Senators by
the score of 4 to nothing.
 
John was just too much for Washington.  He gave his hometown fans a game
they'll never forget! What a day for the fans.  They were on the edge of
their seats from the 7th inning on.  With every out, the electricity in the
air mounted.  Chicago finished with 10 hits in the victory.  
 
Pete Richert(1-1) was hit with the loss.  After the game, John was heard to
say, 'This is something I have dreamt about since I was a little boy - to
have it come true is just amazing!'

1967 NL Game: SF @ Atl.

 April 15, 1967

   The longest game of this young season was played today at Fulton County Stadium between the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves. It took 23 innings before the Giants prevailed by a score of 4-3. Juan Marichal got the start for San Francisco and went 12 innings, striking out 11 before tiring. The game was tied at 3 after 9 innings and it wasn't until the 23rd inning that either team would score again. Ollie Brown homered for the Giants in the top of the 23rd and reliever Joe Gibbon retired the Braves in the bottom of the inning for the Win. Don Schwall took the loss for Atlanta. There were 34 hits in the game and many of the players had 11 AB. The Braves were 2 for 15 with RISP and the Giants were 3 for 18. Time for the game was 6:51, definitely a marathon affair.

1967 AL Game: Det. @ Cal. Opening Day

 April 11, 1967

   It was the first game of the 1967 season for my Detroit Tigers who were at Anaheim Stadium in California playing the host Angels. It took 12 innings, but the Tigers pulled out a 3-2 victory. 

   Detroit had many opportunities to score early in the game because California starter George Brunet was having a hard time throwing strikes. He walked the bases loaded in the 1st, but Al Kaline hit into a home-to-first double play and Jim Northrup flied out, keeping the game scoreless. In the 3rd inning Kaline hit into another bases loaded double play, but a run scored this time for 1-0 Detroit lead. In the 4th inning the Tigers had the first 2 batters on base when Dick McAuliffe  hit into a triple play! (1st-to 2nd-to 1st).  Detroit left 14 men on base in the game.

   Denny McLain pitched a very strong game for Detroit but he made 1 big mistake. In the 5th inning with the Tigers leading 2-0, McLain served up a gopher ball to Angel 2nd baseman Bobby Knoop. It was a 2-run shot, so the game was tied at 2 where in remained until the 12th inning.  McLain's pitching line on the game was: 8 IP, 2 H, 4 W, 10 K, 2 ER but he got no decision. 

  As bad a start Kaline had in the game (2AB 2DP), he did end up with a good day. He singled in a run in the 5th, and had 3 more hits after that. Kaline ended the night 4 for 6 with 1 RBI. His double in the top of the 12th sent Norm Cash to 3rd, and Jim Northrup followed with  a sacrifice fly which drove in what proved to be the winning run. Detroit got good work out of the bullpen with Bill Monbouquette going the final 2 innings for the Win.

Jim Maloney went 9 strong innings as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers by a score of 2 to 0.
 
Cincinnati scored 2 runs in the decisive 7th inning when they came up with 3
base hits.  Deron Johnson kicked off the action when he smashed a bases-empty
'big-fly'.  Tony Perez stepped into the batter's box and he laced a
base-knock.  After an out was recorded, Leo Cardenas then drew a walk.
Johnny Edwards followed and he slapped a one-base hit scoring the final run
of the inning.  Cincinnati had 8 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Maloney(1-0) was credited with the shutout, his first of the year. Bob
Miller(0-1) took the loss.  Maloney was obviously very pleased with his
performance in the aftermath of the game, 'It was just one of those games
where everything worked.  My arm felt great, heck, I could have pitched
another two or three innings.  I only hope that I can do it again next time
out!'

1967 AL Game: NY @ Was

 April 10, 1967

   The 1967 AL MLB season got underway today with the Opening Day game in Washington D.C. The visiting New York Yankees scored a run in the top of the 1st for a 1-0 lead, but that was all they'd be able to tally against the Senator's starter Pete Richert. Washington tied the game in the bottom of the 4th, then went ahead 2-1 in the 6th before blowing the game wide open in the 7th when they scored 8 runs. Ken McMullen was 3 for 4 with a homerun and 3 RBI for the home team. Richert went the distance for the Win. Mel Stottlemyre took the loss for NY.
