So great to see starting pitchers go so deep into the game, but that at bat sure was strange.

Greg,
That's a pretty astute observation.
Not only is pitcher Larry Jackson batting, but he is only a .128 hitter in 1965. Ouch!
Did you also note that both Larry Jackson and Jim Maloney wore uniform #46?
Weird...
