In 1962, from the archives, one the Mets’ best pitching performances comes when “Al Jackson”:http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Al_Jackson_1935 pitches 15 innings to Philadelphia only to lose, 3-1 on a two-run single by Mel Roach. Jackson threw 215 pitches in the game.
Yup, it was a different world back then.
