On June 19, 1952 At Ebbets Field, Carl Erskine throws a no-hitter against the Cubs in the Dodgersâ 5-0 victory. A third-inning walk to the opposing pitcher, William Ramsdell, which accounts for the only runner to reach base, may have been a result of skipper Chuck Dressen telling the 25 year-old right-hander to speed upâŠ
In game one at Cincinnati, Willie Mays steals the first of 338 bases. Then pitcher Willie Ramsdell picks him off second base. But the Giants win, 3 â 1, behind Sal Maglie. New York takes the nitecap as well, 6 â 4, as Monte Irvin (2) and Mays both swipe bases.
