Just in under the wire! Joe Black, purportedly a normal human being, somehow became a demigod in 1952, winning 15 games for the Brooklyn Dodgers and saving 15 more.
He also had an era of 2.15, and only missed winning the ERA championship because he was 8 innings short for qualification.
Boston, winner of 7 straight, is the hottest team in the league at the moment; they send Warren Spahn (6-7, 3.52) to the mound to face Luis E. Tiant (8-7, 2.95). Pirates aiming to halt a 4-game losing streak.
Braves keep right on rolling as Spahn evens his record at 8-8 with a two-hit shutout. Boston has won eight in a row. Tiant’s quality start goes to waste.

Of course he did.

One guess only, please.
