O's Cut Kimbrel Loose

1964 Phillies

The collapse by which all are measured.

The Phillies led by 6.5 games with 12 to go, yet lost 10 in a row.

Much of the blame—and rightly so—fell on the shoulders of manager Gene Mauch who started pitchers Jim Bunning and Chris Short in seven of the team's final 10 games, with six of those starts coming on two days rest. The Phillies lost all of them.

This epic collapse is known as "The Phold."

By the way, Jim Bunning is one of only two pitchers in the history of the game to pitch a no hitter in both leagues. In the 50's with the Tigers and in the 60's with the Phillies. The one with Philly was actually a perfect game.

The other pitcher to accomplish this feat was Cy Young
