POV: You’re taking the mound in the decisive third game of the 1951 National League playoffs, but all of this could have been avoided. In your first start of the year against the Dodgers back in April, you carried a 3-2 lead into the ninth. You retired Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson before walking Gil Hodges on a full count. He came around to score on a single by Reese, the Bums won in extras, and that one early loss is all that kept you from winning the pennant outright.

Two Hall of Famers grew up across the street from each other in tiny Lansing, Ohio, in the 1940s and '50s. One was future NBA Finals MVP and Boston Celtics legend John Havlicek. The other, like "Hondo," starred in three sports at Bridgeport High School, but instead of the hardwood, he took a crack at a career on the mound. Who was this pitcher, who would go on to win over 300 games in the majors, with more than 275 of them coming after the age of 30? (Hint: you might want to use just the surname to be safe.)
