Ron Necciai pitched a 27-strikeout game for a Pittsburgh Pirate farm team in 1952. He made it to the big game that same year, I assumed because of that performance, played one year, then got drafted into the US Army.

He's 88 years old and looks good. It would be fun to get a photograph of the two of them together.
