Why this card is awesome: Because it sure looks like Marhsall's hitting off his front foot--not the best way to do things. I can't understand why Marshall didn't get a better card number. Sure, he was not a superstar, but he did have a good solid career.
Cool stat: I need some help here, folks. I distinctly remember a game in which Mike Marshall made all three outs in an inning, I believe by a strikeout and a GIDP. But I cannot find it on B-R.com, meaning that my memory is probably a bit off. Can anybody help?
Anyway, here is your Marshall stat. He makes the top 10 for fewest career walks among players with at least 800 Ks. Bo knows strikeouts.

May be way off here, but I believe that was a spring training game when we was on the Sox in '91...
Well that would make sense. I am about 90% sure it was with Boston, and the other 10% is with the Mets, but I'm sure it wasn't with the Dodgers. And I looked at every game he played in with the Mets and Red Sox where he got a GIDP, or a K, or the team scored at least 4 runs in any one inning....and I couldn't find it. But I didn't look at spring games. (Are box scores for historical spring training games available anywhere?)
Another telling point is that I can't find an account of it with Google, either.
The year he was with the Sox, the Baseball Cube says he didn't strike out.
Didn't strike out in Spring Training, that is.
