1963 – Chicago’s 2B Nellie Fox is traded to the Colts for cash, P Jim Golden, and OF Danny Murphy.
Eighteen-year-old OF Danny Murphy becomes the youngest Cub to hit a home run when he clouts a 3-run homer off Bob Purkey, but the Reds win, 8 – 6, in Cincinnati. Murphy will play just 49 games for the Cubs from 1960 to 1962. He will come back as a pitcher for the White Sox in 1969 and 1970.
With a seven-run seventh inning in Game 6, the A’s coast to an easy 13-2 victory over the Giants at Shibe Park to win the World Series. Outfielder Danny Murphy leads Philadelphia with four hits, and Chief Bender goes the distance to get the win.
The 61-year history of Shibe Park begins with the A’s defeating the Red Sox, 8-1. The Philadelphia stadium, which will be renamed to honor Connie Mack in 1953, is the first concrete and steel ballpark in major league history.
The American League’s longest game to date takes place in Boston before 16â000. Rookies Jack Coombs and 24-year-old Joe Harris go the route in a 24-inning struggleâ ending with a 4 – 1 Athletics victory after 4 hours and 47 minutes. It sets the major league recordâ later brokenâ and is still the AL mark for two pitchers. Two batters single, and then Socks Seybold and Danny Murphy hit triples with two outs to end the contest. Philadelphia’s Coombs faces 89 battersâ striking out a major league record 18 (broken in 1962) and giving up 14 hitsâ while the Americans’ Harris fans 14 and yields 16 hits. Harris drops his record to 2-21â and will start next year at 0-6 before exiting the majors for Providenceâ holding the distinctions of the worst winning percentage (.091 for a 3-30 record) and the fewest wins for any pitcher with 300 innings pitched. The 24 innings pitched will only be exceeded this century by the 26-inning battle on May 1â 1920 between Joe Oeschger and Leon Cadore. There won’t be a longer game in the AL until May 8â 1984.
