IIRC, this is the game that Jim Maloney ruptured his achilles tendon. He was never the same. Too bad. Had he kept it up, he might be in Cooperstown. Best Red's pitcher of my lifetime.

Sparky and Vukovich weren't exactly buddies after this or before either. It was detailed pretty good in the book The Machine.
