    Ernie Banks | Getty Images The Cubs and Cardinals fought for more than four hours... and in the end, neither team won. Monday, April 12, 1965 was the season opener for the Cubs and Cardinals at Wrigley Field. When it began, both teams’ records were, of course, 0-0. And when it ended, those records were... the same. Let me explain. Larry Jackson had an outstanding 1964 season — 24-11, 3.14 ...2025

Don’t get me wrong, speed is something you can’t teach, and I enjoy a stolen base, a triple or a terrific outfield play as much as the next guy. And speed most often facilitates those plays. But if a hitter can’t get on base, t...2023
